Looking to make a Reddit-like app -- would like help planning this before starting

Hi! I'm looking to make a Rails app that's like Reddit but need help planning before getting started. What sorts of gems and other things should I include first before actually really coding the bulk of this thing? Model relationships? Thanks!

Mackenzie Child's 12 in 12 challenge should give you some hints on where to start. https://mackenziechild.me/12-in-12/

Of course, don't copy and paste his code, make sure you understand all the stuff that's going on.
