Of users and direct messaging (pt. 1)

Video

We begin working on a direct messaging feature. This episode covers all the preliminary work: adding users to the app, setting up a basic authentication flow via Rails has_secure_password, adding an ability to show a user's profile. For the latter one, we use Turbo Frames and Stimulus JS sprinkles.
