A few weeks ago, I completed one of the major projects in the Rails portion of the curriculum at TheOdinPoject. This project creating a clone of the popular Facebook app. Creating a true clone of Facebook would be extremely time consuming, as there are so many facets to Facebook – Marketplace, Messenger, live video, etc. My clone, which I called Phacebook, captures some of the core elements of the original, such as secure login (made possible through Devise,) requesting/confirming friends, creating posts, including images in posts, as well as liking and commenting on posts.
