Research direction

Start by checking the listed helper files, CoffeeScript assets, and SCSS stylesheets to confirm they are empty and unused. Remove the listed files and verify that the application still works without them; completion means the empty files are gone without breaking the app.

Description

Thank you for the app! It helps very much!
Still there's a lot of empty files which just confuse people (at least me). I suggest removing these files to make the app cleaner and it would be taking less time to look through.

Here's the list of such files:

- helpers:
feeds_helper.rb
folows_helper.rb
items_helper.rb
landing_helper.rb
pins_helper.rb

- assets:
feeds.js.coffee
folows.js.coffee
items.js.coffee
landing.js.coffee
pins.js.coffee

- stylesheets:
feeds.css.scss
folows.css.scss
items.css.scss
landing.css.scss
pins.css.scss
