Alphasights Technical Challenge

Using Ruby on Rails we would like you to create a simple expert search tool. The application should fulfill the requirements below. The source code must be placed in a public repo on GitHub. The application should be deployable on Heroku.

• I enter a name and a personal website address and a member is created.
• When a member is created, all the heading (h1-h3) values are pulled in from the website to that members profile.
• The website url is shortened (e.g. using http://goo.gl)
• After the member has been added, I can define their friendships with other existing members. Friendships are bi-directional i.e. If Sasha is a friend of Ash, Ash is always a friend of Sasha as well.

A gift of life

As the inhabitants of the planet gazed out at the endless expanse of space from the windows of their spaceship, they knew that their time on their home planet has come to an end. The planet was undergoing a catastrophic mass extinction event, the oceans were boiling, the atmosphere was thinning, and there was no way for the inhabitants to survive.

But, as all live things do, they were not willing to give up just yet. A group of scientists and engineers had been working on a plan to evacuate the remnants of the population using a massive spaceship that was capable of transporting thousands of people to a nearby planet, that, with some help from light terraforming, could become habitable.

After months of preparation, the spaceship was ready to launch. The inhabitants crowded onto the ship, their hearts filled with hope and fear. They knew that the journey would be long and dangerous, but they were determined to make it to their new home.

As the ship blasted off into space, the inhabitants w
