If you've seen any of my other posts, you might know that I'm doing the full-time Software Engineering (really Web Dev) bootcamp at Flatiron School. We've been building up to Rails for a couple months now, and we finally got our first crack at building a Rails app completely on our own. For my final project I chose to build a site for tracking allergies and dietary restrictions in schools (for use by teachers taking field trips, cafeterias with students that have nut allergies, etc.). If you're interested, or have any advice, feel free to check that out here.
For example, I wanted my users to be able to log in through Google, but I was having trouble getting Omniauth to work properly. Maybe it was interacting weirdly with some other part of my code and having a more simplified set up that looks the same would make it easier to spot the bad interaction, or maybe I just needed to start fresh because I missed something in the setup. Either way, perfect candidate for the sandbox! But even when I got it figured out there, I still couldn't get it to transfer over to my real project...
