Should we eat 🌮, 🍟, or 🍣?

Eat Now is an app to help you decide where to eat.

Mission

Here’s to the indecisive ones. The hesitant. The ditherers. The fence-sitters. The donkey between two haystacks. The ones who can never make a decision.

We built Eat Now for us. We'll help you pick the best restaurant for any occasion. It's that simple.

Features

• Search restaurants based on location
• Select a preferred time to dine
• View restaurant photos and reviews
• Vote for the restaurant you want to eat

Getting Started

1. Download the latest Xcode release.
2. Clone this repository.
3. Add APIKeys.swift to Eat/Services/ following the format here.
4. Build!

Contributing

Our primary focus when working on this project was to create something we'd use and to learn about iOS development. If you share the same passion for eating and learning, we'd love to have you contribute! Whether you're suggesting new features or filing bug reports, we think the best way to do so is through a Github issue. We can't wait to see what we'll make together!

eat's Issues

Not For iPad

Change Deployment Info to iPhone only

Add dietary preferences to search query

Reduce "let's eat" button size

• "Let's eat" button size on third onboarding screen and map screen should be 64px, not 75px
• Font size should be bold, not regular (see figma specs)

Thanks!

Create error screen for when there aren't enough restaurants

Add error state for when there aren't enough restaurants that match the user's preferences.
Tapping adjust location takes user back to the map selection screen.

See figma file for design specs

If I allow location, location button disappears

sometimes? reinstall app to see

Forms - Number of people

Design error state for not enough restaurants

The error page must prompt them to go back to the map page, and explain reasons why there might not be enough restaurants.

Gay Bar is not a restaurant!

Select $$$ and 4.0 and higher in Vancouver and you get this

Images in restaurant card

Empty state for no restaurant image

Open Source

Save selected preferences if user encounters "not enough restaurants" state

Remember user input if user encounters "not enough restaurants" state and gets taken back to the map screen.

Ideally, when the user taps "adjust location" and gets taken to the map screen, the previously selected preferences will be saved. That way, they can quickly "next" through those screens without re-entering everything again.

$$$ Filter returns no restaurants

When last card is swiped by last person, you can see the start selection screen for a second

Onboarding sequence

Add 3-screen onboarding sequence for first time users.

See figma file

Update button styling and positioning for onboarding + map screens

See figma specs

• Button text should be Circular Bold
• Button height reduced to 56px
• Button width reduced to 311px
• Progress indicators on onboarding screen are now 32px above the button

Thanks!

Rotating food item in eating time screen

Styling Restaurant Info Screen

Fonts and reviews not to figma specs

Yelp API Search Query

Returns 2n restaurants
Use Promises or Futures

Finish Up Search Query

Link up forms with passing along search query.

 var searchQuery: SearchQuery!

  static func viewController(searchQuery: SearchQuery) -> FormViewController {
    let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "ProfileStoryboard", bundle: nil)
    guard let formVC = storyboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "FormViewController") as? FormViewController
      else { fatalError() }
    formVC.searchQuery = searchQuery
    return formVC
  }

    let profileVC = ProfileViewController.viewController(user: self.filteredUsers[indexPath.row])
    navigationController?.pushViewController(profileVC, animated: true)

Make sure to embed the first view controller in a navigation controller. And change the next and back buttons to be inside the navigation bar.

Disable or remove yes/no buttons on "pass the phone" screen

Ideally, the yes/no buttons should fade out on the "pass the phone" screen because it's not a valid action at that point.

If this isn't possible, let's disable the yes/no buttons on the page instead.

Given a set of restaurants that the group can pick from, a user should a unique set.

Out of all the restaurants that we filtered in #16, a user should get back a set of restaurants that they'll go through.

When there is only one restaurant, show "there aren't enough restaurants" error state

If there is only restaurant in the area that matches all of the user's preferences, show the same error state as if there were no restaurants at all.

Forms - Location

Gets location, validate input

Update card with open now/open at (time) instead of phone number

Showing the time the restaurant is open until, or whether it's currently open is probably more useful than the phone number

Launch Screen

Screen that shows right when app is open, so it's loading screen essentially. could just be the app icon again with a name underneath

Change the word "circle" to "egg" on group # selection screen

don't think it needs explanation hehe

Done Selecting

After a user is done swiping, show this screen to tell them to pass it along

Research Yelp API

Reducing Yelp results to a set of restaurant

When Yelp returns a list of a trillion restaurants, this function will take that and the number of people in the group and spit out a much smaller list of restaurants.

Change the word "circle" to "egg" on group # selection screen

don't think it needs explanation hehe

Forms - Dietary and Preferences

The group has chosen text should be sentence case

The Group has Chosen -> The group has chosen

Forms - Yelp Rating and Price

Chosen Restaurant Page

A restaurant has been chosen, show that restaurant

Forms - Eating Time

Research Opentable API

App Icon

Onboarding Screens

Create the onboarding screens shown at the beginning of the app.

Yes/no buttons background doesn't extend to the bottom of the screen on iPhone X

Let's get the white background behind the buttons to extend to the bottom of the screen on iPhone X!

Design menu and location icons for full screen restaurant view

• Update figma file with icons

Fix margins in iPhone X

Research UX/Animations of Selecting Restaurants

Manage Game State

Should keep track of all votes, and final chosen restaurant

Create app store material

Restaurant Card with reviews hangs

When you click into a restaurant card that has reviews, it hangs. My guess is the loading of the images in each review cell. Consider using Kingfisher pod.

Change size of close button

Restaurant Page

View Full Page of Restaurants

Lightbox photo gallery

When user taps photos on restaurant card, open photo gallery views for food and menu photos
