1. Overview

1.1. Why it exists

Ruby on Rails web platform featuring asynchronous OpenGraph metadata scrapers and card previews.

1.2. Best fit

Social bookmarking and rich link curation.

2. Use cases

A Ruby on Rails 4.1 social site where signed-in users share links or files, vote, comment and preview pages.

Use-case diagram for linkshare: Share a link or a file; Preview a shared page; Vote and comment on links; Search links and users; Manage content in /adminlinkshareShare a link or a filePreview a shared pageVote and comment on linksSearch links and usersManage content in /adminMemberAdministrator«system»Embedly
People on the left, external systems on the right; each oval is a use case backed by the files cited below.
Share a link or a file
Member

LinksController#create saves a Link with title, url and description; the Link model also mounts a CarrierWave FileUploader, and /files/new reuses the same form.

Preview a shared page
MemberEmbedly

The feed and link views add embedly-card anchors, and application.js calls embedly('card', …) to render a preview card or tooltip.

Vote and comment on links
Member

PUT /links/:id/like and /dislike use acts_as_votable, and nested /links/:link_id/comments routes attach comments to a link.

Search links and users
Member

Link.search and User.search filter by title or name with LIKE; the feed is paginated five links per page with will_paginate, and user cards show an online indicator.

Manage content in /admin
Administrator

config/routes.rb mounts RailsAdmin at /admin, and the users table has an admin flag.

2.1. Scenario: Posting an article and collecting reactions

  1. Start the app as in the README: rails server -p 8080 -b 0.0.0.0, with redis-server running.
  2. Sign up at /users/sign_up with a name and the required avatar image.
  3. Open /links/new, paste the article URL with a title and description, then submit.
  4. On the home feed, hover the title to see the Embedly preview with vote and comment counts.
  5. Other members like the link with PUT /links/:id/like and reply under /links/:id/comments.

5. Features and components 2

Resources and actions
config/routes.rb maps links to resource actions and nests comments beneath links. Member routes send like and dislike actions to upvote and downvote. The root page is links#index.
Accounts and administration
Devise supplies the account-route surface, and RailsAdmin is mounted under /admin. Controllers and models are separate from the routing file; declaring a route does not show its full authorization or persistence behavior.

6. Architecture

Text version of the diagram

  • Rails router → Links and comments controllers
  • Links and comments controllers → Models and persistence
  • Links and comments controllers → Rendered response
Follow one path through the code

Follow PUT /links/:id/like into the upvote action, then inspect the model operation. This keeps the HTTP action, the user identity and the stored vote from being treated as one indistinguishable step.

7. Technical dossier

Built from the source at commit 2e223f9 (58 files). Each item comes from a pattern match in the code, so open the linked file before relying on it.

7.1. Layers and modules

Folders are sorted into layers by name, from the user interface down to data access. Because the sorting uses names only, the diagram says nothing about calls between layers.

What the scan covers
