In order to tidy this up a bit more - by tidying, I mean moving some of the 'business logic' out of the app.rb - you could write something like peep = Peep.new(params[:title], params[:content], etc., passing in these parameters as arguments to a new Peep object, and storing the variables that way instead.
The benefit of doing this is that you push some of the responsibility to the Peep class instead of the app.rb. This will adhere more closely to 'Single Responsibility Principle', which guides us to try to give each class one overarching responsibility.
In the context of a full stack web app, the pattern we follow is Model View Controller, or MVC. In this case, app.rb is the Controller - it's responsible for responding to URL requests / button actions etc. and deciding which code to run - the Models are responsible for structuring our objects like Peeps and Users, and communicating with the database through the Repository classes. And the Views are responsible for what's visible to the user.
I hope I've done this pull request right! :/
