Rails Challenge

The time is 1 am right now. And I'm throwing myself a challege: develop in as short a time a complete rails app as specified below. Do all the coding in one long stretch through the night without sleeping. Let's see how much can be done using Rails under such circumstances (and I'm already quite sleepy!). Should prove how hassle-free Rails actually is.

All the best to me!

Rails app specification

Site name: Fundoo Media

- The user can login using a username and password. Else she can register. Else she can remain anonymous (but then she has only read permission, cannot catalog media files, cannot comment, etc).

- The user can enter the URL for a file along with a title, and choose a category for it, and add tags to the file. Depending on the extension of the file, the file is recognized as an image or a video file.

- The user can browse through categories and sub-categories.

- The user can edit the details of a file.

- The user can leave comments about a file.

- The user can do a search for a file depending on various parameters viz title, url, category, tags, uploader, size.

- The user can log out.

I'm too sleepy now. Hitting the sack. Done so far: no login, visitor can add media files (URL and title only, no categories), view them, and edit them. Great looking CSS though (wasted quite a bit of time on these customizations!).

Done so far: categories and category hierarchies (no browsing by category yet); basic search on title, url, and categories; improved the look and navigation of the site.
