Socify

Socify is an open source social networking platform written in Ruby on Rails. Here is the blog post: How to build a social network using Rails.

Do you want to see it in action? Here is a working version deployed to heroku http://socifyapp.herokuapp.com

UPDATE

Since my cloudinary free tier hit a bandwidth overload. So had to switch to AWS. If you plan on deploying to production please set the AWS key and secret as environment variables. Or you can checkout the older version which uses cloudinary https://github.com/sudharti/socify/tree/930b2f7c6a6eb6b442189dc6237765dbf16d461c

UPDATE #2

Updated the Rails version to 5.0. Thanks to @briankung for the Pull Request. There are some more things to be upgraded which will be done shortly. Refer this for the list of changes to be done https://hashrocket.com/blog/posts/how-to-upgrade-to-rails-5.
