See menu of the whole week

[Florian Moser]

Ability to view the menu of the whole week.

This is currently not a good idea as this would produce a high number of requests (~30 per day) for little benefit (who cares about the menu of tomorrow?)

This will be worked on if:

• the number of requests can be reduced substantially (using a caching server like https://github.com/famoser/XKCD.cache or/and reducing the number of requests like #2)
• a valid use case emerges (WHY do you care about the menu of the whole week?)

Thanks for the app! :)
I have a suggestion along with a use case:

Let users view the menus of the current day, as well as of the next day (but not the whole week).
Sometimes one might want to plan ahead during the evening whether to bring something or go to the mensa the next day.

Alternatively, there could be a "cutoff time" (e.g. 20:00), after which the menus of the next day are shown. This would have to be shown somehow visually, maybe with different colors or something.

This use-case is convincing, thank you!

I would probably let the user select which day to look at, rather than the time-dependent switch. Users may want to prepare their home-cooked meal, which is hard to predict when they will do that (cook double-size portion for dinner? go to the store while it is still open?).

For now, I cannot personally invest time; I stopped using Android since quite some time, and also do not live in Zurich anymore. I am however happy to accept corresponding contributions.
