Ivan Chai Tracker is a niche tea journal and brewing assistant focused on traditional Russian fireweed tea. It allows users to record their brews, log tasting notes, and explore historical and cultural facts. I created the full-stack app solo to sharpen my skills with RESTful architecture and external API consumption. It includes a rotating quote feature pulled from a folklore API, and a whimsical guestbook protected by a secret wizard password using session-based access. Tech Stack: - Ruby on Rails for full-stack application logic - PostgreSQL for storing brew logs and user notes - Sidekiq + Redis for background job processing (auto-refreshing folklore quotes) - JavaScript for interactive UI, quote rotation, and light DOM animations This project gave me the chance to creatively blend tech skills with cultural storytelling, while applying advanced Rails features like modules, background jobs, and session management. https://github.com/DAVISEVAN/ivan_chai_subscription_service
