The 'Acebook' application is a light Facebook clone built in Ruby on Rails. The following functionality is implemented:
- Sign In / Sign Out
- View a newsfeed of all posts
- View your own posts
- Create a new post
- Image upload when creating a post
- Comment on a post
- 'Like' a post
- Flag a post
- A blacklist-based 'fake news' filter which flags news articles from potentially disreputable sources
Acebook was built using Ruby on Rails. It is deployed live on Heroku - http://theacebook.herokuapp.com

The application was developed by a team of 4 developers over the course of a week as part of the Makers Academy Software Development Bootcamp.
This project required all members of the team to pick up a new framework, having no previous experience using Ruby on Rails.
