##PROTIP: README Love

READMEs are AWESOME. They are one of the best things you can add to a repo, (other than quality code), to make it look professional.

####Things that make a README great:

• A link to the production site on heroku
• A screenshot (or a few) of what the app does (This is especially important if you don't have the production app up and running yet)
• Directions on how to clone or fork the repo and run it locally (explain it like you're explaining things to a totally new programmer)

This is an excellent post that explains a little bit behind the difficulty in testing external services https://robots.thoughtbot.com/how-to-stub-external-services-in-tests How to Stub External Services in Tests

One simple option is to use Webmock

Here is an example of using Webmock in a similar way to what VCR does - which is recording and reading from a file

stub_request(:any, "www.example.com").

Step One: Watch Writing Testable JavaScript - Rebecca Murphey from Full Frontal 2012 (award for worst conference name ever?)

Step Two: Fork this gist.

Step Three: Consider the four responsibilities that Rebecca lists for client side code (hint: they're color coded).

• Did any of the responsibilities that she lists surprise you?
• Do you feel like you mentally split your client side code in IdeaBox and other past projects into these responsibilities?

Step Four: Totally Optional: take a look at some of the other forks and comment if the spirit moves you.
