Inspired by Instagram, Hellogram was a chance to get comfortable with building a fully functional social media site using Ruby on Rails. I was also able to add a local file upload from the web app, which the real Instagram doesn't have.

• Users can sign up or login from the homepage and have a user profile page
• Users can edit their user details and upload a profile image from their profile page
• Users can upload photos directly from their device to the photo feed
• Posts have descriptions, which can include hashtags, as well as comments
• Hashtags are searchable from the searchbar
• Users can comment on any post as long as they are logged in, and delete their own comments

• Ruby on Rails (Rails 5.2.2)
• Postgres database
• Custom CSS and Bootstrap
• ActiveStorage for file upload
• Devise gem for authentication/authorization

bundle install
rails db:migrate
rails s

open localhost://3000

• Add likes to posts
• Add followers/followees to user model (currently hardcoded)
• Add photo URL option for posts in addition to file upload
