problem

Checking a dining hall meal's macros in NetNutrition requires opening each food's label individually.

approach

Collect published menus and nutrition labels into complete D1 snapshots, then serve them through a web app and REST API. A Python CLI supports local browsing and meal plans.

implementation notes

  • Browse dining halls, dates, and meals with calories, protein, carbs, fat, and serving sizes together.
  • Open each food's original NetNutrition label and build meal plans stored in the browser.
  • Publish refreshes atomically so a failed collection leaves the last complete menu available.
  • Document the public API with request examples and an OpenAPI schema.
