Find what to order — not just where to eat.

Bytez is a dish-first food review app for iOS. Most apps tell you where to go. Bytez answers the question people actually ask at the table: "What dish should I get?"

• Explore nearby restaurants — Map + scrollable list, with restaurants that have Bytez reviews surfaced at the top
• Dish-level reviews — Rate individual dishes with tags, photos, and detailed notes
• Dish Summary — Search a dish within a restaurant and see an aggregated "quick verdict" (avg rating, top tags, latest photo) before diving into individual reviews
• Dish suggestions — When writing a review, see previously reviewed dishes at that restaurant to keep naming consistent
• Favorites — Save reviews from other users to revisit later
• Profiles — Avatar upload, display name, bio, and light/dark/system appearance toggle

• Xcode 15+
• iOS 17+ Simulator or device
• A Supabase project (free tier works)

git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/bytez.git
cd bytez

Create a file at th26/Secrets.swift:

import Foundation

enum Secrets {
    static let supabaseURL = "https://YOUR_PROJECT_REF.supabase.co"
    static let supabaseAnonKey = "YOUR_ANON_KEY"
}

⚠️ Do not commit this file. It's already in .gitignore.

Run the following in your Supabase SQL Editor:

-- Profiles
create table profiles (
  id uuid primary key references auth.users(id),
  username text unique,
  display_name text,
  bio text,
  avatar_url text,
  settings jsonb,
  created_at timestamptz default now()
);

-- Restaurants
create table restaurants (
  id uuid primary key default gen_random_uuid(),
  name text not null,
  address text,
  city text,
  latitude double precision,
  longitude double precision,
  mapkit_id text unique,
  created_at timestamptz default now()
);

-- Reviews
create table reviews (
  id uuid primary key default gen_random_uuid(),
  user_id uuid references profiles(id) not null,
  restaurant_id uuid references restaurants(id) not null,
  dish_name text not null,
  rating int not null check (rating between 1 and 5),
  review_text text,
  photos text[],
  tags text[],
  created_at timestamptz default now(),
  updated_at timestamptz
);

-- Saved Reviews
create table saved_reviews (
  user_id uuid references profiles(id) not null,
  review_id uuid references reviews(id) not null,
  saved_at timestamptz default now(),
  primary key (user_id, review_id)
);

Also create two Storage buckets: avatars and foods (both public).

Open th26.xcodeproj in Xcode, select a simulator, and hit Run.

• Smarter dish matching (aliases, synonyms, fuzzy search)
• "What should I order?" ranking per restaurant
• Tag-based filters (spicy, healthy, late-night)
• Shareable dish cards
• Real-time location onboarding (beyond demo mode)
• Social features (follow users, activity feed)

People don't want "more reviews" — they want faster confidence. Yelp and Google tell you a restaurant is 4.2 stars, but that doesn't help when you're staring at a 40-item menu. Bytez flips the model: search by dish, see what others actually ordered, and make a decision in seconds.

MIT — do what you want, just don't blame us if you order the wrong thing.
