Motorista is an online magazine for the petrolheads, designed to host articles from all around the automotive and motorcycle world. The categories currently implemented are Cars, Motorcycles, Off-Road, and Racing. The features of this website are user creation/log-in, user profile with the most voted article featured at the top, and a list of the latest articles written by the author. For the articles section, we have the creation of new articles, a show page for each one of them featuring the article picture, title, and content. The home page is a webpage that displays the featured article at the top (Most voted) and a list of categories featuring the most recent article added to that section as cover. Signed-in users can upvote their favorite article to see it featured on the home page. The website is fully responsive, with an interactive sliding menu bar. The last feature I will mention here is the search option. You can search for a word or phrase and the related articles will be displayed.

This project was a very comprehensive project that included all of the knowledge acquired during the last courses including HTML, CSS, Ruby, and Ruby on Rails. For this project, I also used Bootstrap and SASS for responsive development. It demanded a lot of skill and analysis to be able to implement the design and the project specifications into a fully functioning app.
