Live workspace
Code, chat, and preview in one place.
The workspace is built for repeated product work, not disposable demos. Every generated file stays inspectable, every change is visible, and every follow-up can target the exact part of the app you care about.
01 · EDITOR
Generated code, ready to edit.
Every file BYOB writes stays visible and editable. Follow-ups target the exact lines you care about instead of regenerating from scratch.

Prompt to app
From first prompt to a workspace you can ship.
Start conversationally, approve the shape, let Tool Mode implement, then refine and deploy from the same workspace.
- 01 Describe the product Start with the outcome, audience, and any constraints. BYOB turns the idea into a practical build plan.
- 02 Shape the UX Review the proposed flows, screens, data needs, and visual direction before code starts moving.
- 03 Generate the app Tool Mode writes SvelteKit code, connects integrations, and keeps each change visible in preview.
- 04 Test and refine Ask for edits, roll back when needed, run checks, and keep the project editable instead of disposable.
- 05 Deploy Ship the finished app, connect domains, and keep iterating from the same workspace.
Agent and backend
Code with your agent, ship with a real backend.
Connect Codex, Claude Code, or Antigravity to your project, then store data and ship to production without leaving the workspace.

Loved by builders
Rated 4.9/5 by developers and founders using BYOB to move from idea to shipped product.
Built for shipping
The parts that usually slow you down are already here.
BYOB handles product planning, implementation, preview, testing, database work, and deployment from one focused interface, with coding-agent access and production analytics when you want to keep working from your own terminal.
This part is hands-on. The cards drift until you touch them. Drag to rearrange, or press and hold one to feel it push back.
Agent integrations
Give Codex, Claude Code, or Antigravity scoped access through BYOB CLI or Agent MCP. Your agent reads context, edits code, tests previews, and deploys from your terminal.
Git history and diffs
Every change lands as a commit. Inspect history, compare diffs, and see exactly what changed since the last deploy.
Inbox in every project
Every project ships with an inbox. Collect messages, leads, and feedback from your app without wiring a third party.
Email sending built in
Send magic links, OTP codes, and transactional mail from your own sender address. Resend-backed, no SMTP setup.
Google and magic-link login
Offer Continue with Google plus passwordless email codes. Sessions and callbacks are handled.
Custom domains and SSL
Point your domain at BYOB with guided DNS checks. Certificates are automatic.
Visual editing
Click any element in the live preview and describe the change. Copy, spacing, color, behavior.
AI testing agent
Run full-site or feature checks and get implementation-level feedback you can apply in one step.
Version rollback
Step between saved states or redeploy a known commit when an experiment goes sideways.
One-click deploy
Builds publish to production hosting in one step. Deploys can auto-save the project state first.
Deployment analytics
Worker traffic, errors, CPU timing, subrequests, and custom-domain status from the workspace.
Supabase aware
Connect Supabase and BYOB reads schemas, drafts migrations, and generates types that match your app.
Team collaboration
Invite people in and keep sessions coordinated so work never overwrites work.

BYOB builds a Chicago restaurant website from a prompt: editable menu pages, opening hours, a location page for each neighborhood and clear links to your booking or delivery service. You publish on your own domain and update dishes, closures and events yourself, with no developer and no platform lock-in.
What Chicago diners expect from a restaurant site
Most people checking a Chicago restaurant are on a phone, often on the sidewalk on Clark Street or waiting for the Brown Line. They want the essentials fast: are you open now, where exactly are you, what is on the menu and can they get a table. BYOB generates a structure that leads with hours, address, a tap-to-call number and a clear reservation link, so a hungry visitor is not hunting through a gallery before they find the door.
One page per neighborhood, not site for the city
Chicago is a city of distinct dining districts, and people search by area as much as by cuisine. A tavern-style pizza place in Pilsen, a tasting menu in the West Loop and a late-night spot in River North attract very different searches. If you run more than one location, give each its own page with its own address, hours, parking notes and nearby landmarks, then link them from the main menu. That one change helps the Loop lunch crowd and the Wrigleyville pre-game crowd land on the right page.
Reservations, delivery and the platforms you already use
BYOB is not a reservation or delivery engine, and it should not pretend to be. The strongest approach is to generate the pages around the tools Chicago restaurants already rely on and link to them clearly: a booking service for tables, a delivery or pickup link, or a phone number for large parties. You can also build a simple booking inquiry form and store requests in data storage you control. Either way, the site should make the next step obvious instead of burying three competing buttons.
Winter closures, patio season and event nights
Chicago weather drives restaurant content. Patio season fills the site with outdoor seating news, while a hard winter brings holiday closures, delayed openings and delivery-only nights. Add a small news or events section and keep the newest update at the top, so a manager can post a snow closure or a live music night in about 30 seconds. Fresh, specific updates are what make a restaurant site feel maintained rather than abandoned, and they give regulars a reason to check back.
Local search across Chicago and Chicagoland
Being found starts with a complete Google Business Profile and a site that names your neighborhood, cuisine and city in real text. Add your address consistently, link your menu, and mention nearby landmarks or the nearest CTA stop where it helps. A clear.com domain is fine; what matters is that Chicago appears naturally in titles, headings and contact details. Chicagoland suburbs such as Evanston, Oak Park or Naperville can each get a page if you serve them, and Fruitalytics can show which pages actually bring diners in.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I update my menu myself without a developer?
Yes. Menu sections, dishes and prices are editable in the visual editor or by asking BYOB in chat, so a manager can change the board before service.
Can customers book a table through my site?
Link to the booking service you already use, or build a form that stores requests in built-in data storage. BYOB is not a native reservation engine.
Do I need a.chicago domain?
No. A standard.com is fine, and you can connect any domain you own. Naming your neighborhood and cuisine clearly in your pages matters more.
Will the site work for multiple Chicago locations?
Yes. Create a page per branch with its own hours, address and parking notes, then link them from the main navigation.
Can I add online ordering?
Link to the ordering or delivery platform you use. BYOB builds the surrounding pages but does not process orders itself.
