Linkit, a beginner link aggregator
Linkit is a beginner project created using Rails 7, with extensive use of the Turbo technology, as well as the Devise gem for authentication. It also utilizes the handy Link Thumbnailer and Acts as Votable gems for generating thumbnails for link posts, and allowing votes on posts and comments, respectively. On the front end, Bootstrap is used to help make everything uniform, with some tweaking done with Sass. The logo and buttons (one being made with the help of a CC0 image), as well as the default avatar and thumbnails were all made by me, using GIMP!
