slyde's Issues

Should we change the database from SQLite to Postgres ?

SQLite has multiple issues

1. It doesn't allow for specifing NOT NULL on references. For example, you can create a comment which has user_id = nil
2. It doesn't enforce foreign key constrains. If you delete a user, the comments made by this user will continue to exist

There are workarounds

1. Check for nil before creating the object (you should do this anyway, even if you're using a proper database)
2. Call destroy instead of delete

But these workarounds are enforced by rails itself not by the database. Which means, you can't guarantee referential integrity or will lead to lower performance.

Thoughts ?

Login when signing up

When a new user signs up, he's not logged in to the website

Add sessions and login authentication

Missing database validations for user model

The user model already validates input, but we need to mark the properties as a NOT NULL in the database itself (i.e. add a change_column migration to make the columns not null)
