This project is a simple web application that allows you to search for comics in Marvel Developer API. The app allow users to search for comics by character's name and mark favourite ones.

1. Devise - This gem is used to authenticate users to access the application.
2. HTTParty - Gem used to make HTTP requests to the Marvel API.
3. Pry - This gem is used to debug the application.
4. RSpec - Gem is used to test the application.
5. Webmock - This gem is used to mock HTTP requests when testing.

1. The entities character and comic were implemented based on ActiveRecord classes to make easier to manipulate and understand the objects.
2. To help mitigate problems concerning external API rate limit, API responses were cached for 24 hours.

• Refactor the javascript to use turbo-links on upvote feature.
• Refactor comics layout (image and title).
• Add more tests to have a better coverage.
