Tests

Tests can be ran with $ bundle exec rake spec or $bundle exec rspec

For the system (end-to-end) specs, Google Chrome is required to be installed on the system running the tests.

To Do

These are ideas, anyway.

General

• Use Google calendar API instead of widgets for calendar on the front page?
• Should the main, content-y stuff be static leaving the job board as the only thing requiring "a backend" (which we could locate at jobs.indyhackers.org)?
• Offer meeting organizers a list of open weekday evenings, pulled dynamically from current calendar data.

Job Board

• Read-only API
• Allow hackers to apply on the site, rather than finding info in the post
  • GitHub link
  • LinkedIn link
  • Upload resume
• Make it work well on mobile devices
• Consider using a completely different design from the main site for the job board
