Goodbooks: Social network for book lovers

"Goodbooks" is a twitter-like web app for book lovers to share their opinions on their reads.

This is my capstone project for the Ruby on Rails path of the Microverse program. It is my attempt at implementing an MVP version of "Goodbooks": a twitter-like app with working features, such as:

• Simple login function (sessions)
• Side panel with user's info, stats and navigation links
• Form to post "opinions"
• Homepage listing user's latest "opinions"
• Side panel showing suggestions for "who to follow" (homepage)
• Userpage with their latest posted "opinions"
• Side panel showing user's profile, stats, and followers (user page)
• Button to "follow" users

Built With

• Ruby 3.0.0
• Ruby on Rails 6.1.3
• PostgreSQL 12.6
