Twitter Demo http://railstwitterdemo.herokuapp.com/

A Rails app where a user can mass follow and mass unfollow people on Twitter.

• A user logs into his/her Twitter account using the Twitter OAuth API. For exercise, not relying on Twitter gem or any other Twitter-specific libraries.

• The user should be able to logout from their Twitter account.

• The app pulls back a paginated list of people the user is following, with 20 results per page – 'followees'

• Next to each followee is a checkbox saying 'unfollow'. At the bottom there is a 'submit' button which performs the unfollow actions that the user has requested.

• Additionally, at the top of the page there is a search box. Entering a search term into the box pulls back Twitter profiles whose messages or profile match the search term.

• Next to each of these search results is a 'follow' checkbox, with a 'submit' button at the bottom.

• Any state changes should be reflected in the hash part of the current page's URL.

App depends on the following environment variables to be set correctly:

• TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY
• TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET

Interesting Design Decisions:

• A user is able to access any and all of twitter's API in our app's name, but only with their access token.

• No dependency on database - everything is stored client side.
