In the first episode, I show you how to clone my Rapid Ruby starter template, set up usernames and some validations for them, and create the initial Tweet model and form.

If you want a bit more info on how I set up my Rails apps (most of how my Rapid Ruby starter is built), check out my series on How I start every Rails app.

Apologies, I forgot to commit part one’s source code, so the link has part 1 and part 2’s code as well.
