Features

--------

### Squawks

All posts are automatically upcased by a `before_action` in the `Squawk` model.

Case-sensitive hyperlinks are left unmodified.

### Follow model

Track the squawks of people you find interesting (enraging?)

### Activity Feed

Fetches squawks for a given user, as well as those from the user's 'followees'

(users the given user is following)

### Forgotten Password

Uses ActionMailer and SendGrid to send the user a password-reset link

### "Remember me" option

On sign-in, elect to install a permanent cookie rather than a temporary one

### Character countdown

Shows remaining number of available characters (maximum: 160 --- 20 more than

Twitter! Get at me, VCs.)

### Test suite

Test suite written in RSpec.

(Warning: In an extremely RSpec-y way that I've come to loathe.)

### Search

Full-text search implemented using ElasticSearch

### Infinite Scrolling

Implemented using vanilla ES6

```js

// app/views/static_pages/home.haml L17-L25 (180c2747)

  let scrollManager = new ScrollManager({ window: window })

  let feedFetcher = new FeedFetcher({ endpoint: "/activity-feed" })

  feedFetcher.fetchInitialPages({ scrollManager: scrollManager })

  window.document.addEventListener("scroll", () => {

    if (!scrollManager.isAtBottom()) { return }

    feedFetcher.fetchNextPage()

  })

```



  

    app/views/static_pages/home.haml#L17-L25 (180c2747)

  



### At-mention completion

Inspired by GitHub's at-mention suggestions, start typing `@` (where

`identifier` is a handle or any portion of a full name), and a dropdown with

fuzzy-searchable suggested completions (see the [PR][at-mention-pr] for a demo)

will appear:

```js

/* app/assets/javascripts/components/squawkbox.jsx L45-L68 (180c2747) */

  // Render text area with Suggestions child component

  render() {

    return (

      

        

        

        


          {this.state.remainingChars}

        


        

      

    )

  }

```

### Content Recommendations

Proof-of-concept. Generated by [Warbler][warbler-repo], a service written in

Python. See the [PR][warbler-pr] for a demo.

```ruby

# app/controllers/recommendations_controller.rb L6-L12 (180c2747)

  def index

    squawk_ids = Warbler.recommendations(squawk_params)

    squawks = Squawk.where(id: squawk_ids)

    render "activity_feed/index", locals: { squawks: squawks }

  rescue ActionController::ParameterMissing

    head :unprocessable_entity

  end

```
