Where do you start when it comes down to building the app. I am wanting to make a list making site, that can only pull from a set amount of items. I have a list a features that I want to have but just feeling over whelmed or a bad case or coding block. Thank you in advance.

What I did to practice was take the Treebook application from here and begin adding to it. Take an idea and run with it, play around, etc. I failed miserably many times and hacked together some working pieces. But it helped me learn. Then I took my app and reworked it for Rails 4.

Best of luck! Also, if you aren't feeling up to it on your own maybe you could collaborate with another Ruby Dev?
Have fun! -Luke
