The Finer Things Club is a Sinatra-built web app based on the original _ Finer Things Club _ that debuted in Season 4, Episode 6 of _ The Office _ (US). This app is a tribute of sorts to Pam's, Oscar's, and Toby's interest to celebrate the arts "in a very civilized way" with "no paper, no plastic, and no work talk allowed" (see License for more info).

After signing up, a user can create and manage a collection of fine art, music, and books. Users can also view all such entries to the database supporting the app; future versions will include the ability to identify users with similar interests.

The Finer Things Club app was created to meet requirements of Learn.co's Sinatra Portfolio Project; these requirements are listed in spec.md.

To install, clone or fork this repository, then run bundle install from the terminal prompt.

To create a new verison of the database, populate it with seed data, and get started, run the following commands from the terminal prompt:

$ rake db:rollback STEP=11
$ rake db:migrate db:seed
$ shotgun

Then, in your browser, navigate to localhost:9393. User names and passwords for the seeded data can be found in db/seeds.rb. The app's models, associations, and seed data can be directly accessed and manipulated via tux or rake console.
