Teachable home assessment

Take-home assessment for Teachable interview process.

What I've built:

• Ruby on Rails monolith project (backend and frontend)
• TeachableApi service to wrap HTTP calls to API
• Course and Enrollment classes with ActiveModel::Model included for ActiveRecord functionalities without DB tables
• ERB views with Turbo
• Tailwind CSS for styles

Using the endpoints provided by the Public API, it fetchs and outputs a list of published courses within the creator's school, including the following information for each course:

• Course name
• Course heading
• Course publishing status
• A list of the names and emails of students actively enrolled in the course, along with the enrollment status and creation date

AI Usage

I've used AI (Copilot):

• ocasionally to do code completion
• to discuss ideas in 'ask' mode
• a little bit more in 'agent' mode to help build a better UI

Next steps

• Improve the caching system, to avoid frequent API calls
• Handle multiple pages in API responses
• Implement testing (with RSpec)
