This is the demo app I wrote to demonstrate some of my skills for a job interviews.

This app allows users to:

• sign up and sign in to application
• upload videos in any format FFMpeg can handle
• watch the upload progress (useful for big files)
• see a video thumbnail as soon as upload finish
• set some title and description for the video
• watch the video conversion progress: queued, converting, ready
• comment the videos published
• reply to other's comments, so the comments are nested

ps. video conversion is done as background process(es) using Resque gem (background jobs queue/processor)

Common steps to startup the app:

redis server is necessary for task queue

sudo /etc/init.d/redis-server start

unicorn web server

unicorn_rails -c config/unicorn.rb -E production -D

background workers

RAILS_ENV=production COUNT=2 QUEUE=* rake resque:workers 2>&1 >> log/workers.production.log &

That's all. Try it!
