Instagram is essentially a pretty simple blog if you're cloning it on the web. But I think it speaks to kids a lot more, and is something you can definitely do with pure Ruby.
Along the way, make sure to let the kids know that the web and native app development are pretty interchangeable and if they want to go further they can learn the specifics of developing for the phone if they wanted to in the future.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
Yeah, I don't think I'll be touching any JS frameworks right away (maybe a follow up, more advanced class?) for the sake of simplicity.
Also, I hadn't thought of cloning an existing app, sounds totally more exciting than a blog+comments project. More creative, also.
Thank you!
