Searls After Dark #2 - the Root Route

What's this about?

We're building an app that will use OpenAI's API to facilitate Japanese conversation practice, grammar improvements, and translations for language learners.

• Outside-in vs Bottom-up development
• Basic Rails routing (even nested routes!)
• Our first migration and database setup
• Basic form submissions
• Foreman vs Overmind (check out Ali's post: https://blog.testdouble.com/posts/202... )
