Heroku link to be deployed

Instacation is a clone of Instagram built on Rails and Backbone. Users can:

• View a user's page
• Create accounts and sessions
• Create/delete albums
• Upload/delete photos
• Tag albums with locations

• View Wireframes
• DB schema

I'll create the user authentication framework that will allow people to sign up, sign in, and view albums. Initially all albums will be public.

Details

I will create API routes for albums, then photos, while creating the corresponding Backbone models and collections to fetch the data from these routes. Cloudinary will be implemented for uploading photos to the website.

Details

A third party api (probably Google Places), will be used to tag albums with locations. Tagged locations will collect all the albums from that location and display them.

Details

Using Google Maps, images and albums will be shown on a map. Albums will be shown on a map on the user's page, and images will be shown on a map on the album show page. Images without locations will be mapped to the albums location or will be grabbed from the image metadata. Albums without locations will grab locations from photos. There will be a navigation bar at the top of the page that will display all the countries, then states, then cities that albums appear.

Details
