The code is a Ruby on Rails Frontend and Backend app.

I have not worked on JS frameworks before, though I tried using EmberJS & Rails API, with authentication using Devise & Ember-Simple-Auth.
I was facing a lot of issues so i abandoned it. I have added the code for them as well in folder named rails_with_ember in the Code Directory.
The Login/Logout/SignUp works on the EmberJS app, but there were issues with getting data from the Backend.

One issue i would like to point out is encouraging use of Latest Version of technologies get you stuck in weird places, which takes up a lot of time!!
