Hi, I’m struggling with logging in to my app. Can somebody tell me how  
to do twitter like login? The idea is following -\> when the user is  
logged out, browser shows localhost:3000/ and on main page is shown  
websites domain name etc… with NO posts, and when he is logged in it  
stays the same -\> localhost:3000/ BUT shows all his/her whatever 🙂  
posts, anybody?

Use Authlogic or something similar; set it up according to the  
instructions. Check the value of current\_user to determine whether  
anyone is logged in, and act accordingly. Very simple.

## Best,

There’s also Devise. Devise has more feature than Authlogic.
