General Assembly has a big job board displayed in the lobby of their main office where students, alumni and friends can share notes about various job opportunities. Job Board takes the old analog board and puts it online with features that make it easier for people to connect.

 

The app uses OmniAuth to let users log in with their LinkedIn account. The cards can be dragged and dropped anywhere on the board with the use ofjQuery UI and we use Ajax to save the position of the card to the database. If someone 'Likes' your card you'll recieve a notification in your profile.

 

Also of note is that Job Board is heavily tested. Using RSpec we currently haveover 70% test coverage on our models, routes and controllers.
