Takeout Roulette

Can't decide what to eat? Spin for a local, independent takeout spot in Hamilton, Dundas, Stoney Creek, Binbrook, Ancaster or Waterdown. Every listed place is rated 4.0+ on Google, or is a brand-new spot.

What's where

• public/index.html is the whole app: Spin, My lists, Explore and Map. Each visitor's lists, visits and ratings are saved in their own browser.
• public/places.json lists the restaurants. Edit this file to add or remove a place.
• public/admin.html (served at /admin) is the owner page. It's password protected and has two tabs: Email sign-ups and Reviews (ratings, comments, stats and a CSV download).
• api/signup.js saves an email from the Spin pop-up.
• api/signups.js returns the sign-ups, but only with the admin password.
• api/review.js saves a diner's rating and optional comment, and api/reviews.js returns all of them, without ids, for the restaurant cards. Reviews live in their own Redis hash (reviews), separate from the email sign-ups (signups). Each browser gets a random anonymous id, and only its latest rating per restaurant counts.

Deploy on Vercel (one time)

1. Go to vercel.com/new, import this GitHub repo and press Deploy. No build settings are needed.
2. In the project, open Storage, then Create / Connect Database, then Upstash for Redis (the free plan is fine), and connect it to the project. This adds KV_REST_API_URL and KV_REST_API_TOKEN to the project.
3. In Settings, then Environment Variables, add ADMIN_PASSWORD with a long password that only the owner knows.
4. Open Deployments, then Redeploy, so the new settings take effect.

Every push to main goes live automatically after that.
