"You spell it exactly how it sounds" such a bullshit advice when the language in the context is English, which one-to-one letter-phoneme correspondence is hilariously bad.
"i pushed da bisikel off da ruf"
Is difficult to read, but not impossible to understand.
Anyone under the age of about 60 seems to be completely used to a wide array of (sometimes bizarre) accents, Chinglish grammatical constructs and semi-illiterate spelling.
It's... complicated. If you sort of squint the writing system is maybe the same in the sense that across different Chinese varieties cognates are almost always written the same way (e.g. Cantonese and Mandarin). But a lot of non-prestige Chinese varieties don't really have a standardized writing systems (although a very interesting phenomenon is that speakers can generally tell you when a given word has an associated character(s) they could write down for you and when they can't think of one). So usually when a writer of a non-prestige Chinese variety writes she/he is writing in Mandarin, not in the variety itself.
Nonetheless, there have e.g. been historical Chinese novels written in non-prestige varieties (e.g. in Min or Wu) so in that sense yes the same writing system can and has been used, but different authors might use different characters depending on how they understand the relationship of certain words to the prestige variety.
Even the different languages part is complicated. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16844074
As for what phonetic "spelling" out happens in Chinese, usually a loan character is used (e.g. if live transcribing something where the transcriber hears some unfamiliar words, the usual solution is to write down characters with the same sound and mention that this is purely a sound loan in parentheses).
I can't remember his name or the name of his project though.
Just for note, it would look something like this:
Bézd on máj veri fonetikalli vrittn nétív táng, áj (sz)ink áj kud mep…
(Sz is a single letter in hungarian in this context)
Seems to work fine for Vietnamese.
There's a word for this: Quebecois
This has been tried.

For example, "Co" would be pronounced like "Tso", whereas "Ĉo" would be pronounced like "Cho".
Pronunciation is completely standardised, with stress (almost?) always placed on the penultimate syllable.
letter E, called "eee", makes the sound "ae"
letter I, called "aai", makes the sound "ee"
letter A, called "aae", makes the sound "uh"
super confusing for some kids
and in my non-english-native schooling we were never ever taught "vowel sounds" in our English classes - we only learnt vowels as letters. beyond A for Apple and introducing common words like Car and House and Tree ... the curriculum never bothered about teaching how to speak English
There is no difference at all between what you call a letter and how it sounds when it is used in a word. Reading is simply sounding out each letter as you go from left-to-right.
Things like băss and bāss. Obviously those marks can be confusing if they're substituted in for words where the spelled vowels are different than the pronounced vowels (like yo̅o̅ for "ewe"). I guess those were the advanced words we'd learn after the basics were taught. But first, the "Evil E" :)
Phonetics lies, asunder.
