TigerDine v1.2.4 is out on the App Store and TestFlight now to fix the crashing bug! Hopefully everyone updates quickly so I stop getting crash reports lol.

I also wrote a blog article talking about exactly what went wrong and why: https://ninjacheetah.dev/2026/04/20/imagine-rit-broke-tigerdine.html

#iosdev #RIT #programming

TigerDine is currently broken because Imagine RIT is happening on Saturday, and Crossroads is openly specially for the event (it’s usually closed on Saturdays) and has a visiting chef around during those opening hours.

As it turns out, that visiting chef is using a brand new time string format that I haven’t encountered before, and that breaks TigerDine’s detection of it as a morning time, tries to parse “11am” as an integer directly, force unwraps the result…

It’s been a while since I last posted, but I’ve been hard at work on dining app stuff!

My dining app, now officially renamed to TigerDine so that it doesn’t sound official, is out publicly on the App Store! I added a handful of new features like favorites and pulling menus from FD MealPlanner, and then decided it was ready and shipped it to the App Store 2 weeks ago today. In that time I’ve seen ~160 downloads, which is more than I expected for how long it’s been!

One more separate thought that came up while working on the occupancy stuff: the cracks in the TigerCenter API are starting to show. Today alone, I’ve noted 4 locations that have incorrectly marked hours. RITZ and Crossroads are both noted as being open according to TigerCenter, but they are not, in fact, and the RIT Dining website correctly shows them as closed.

This is why my secondary project is to try and get in contact with whoever currently maintains TigerCenter, because… 1/2

#RIT

Did some sniffing around on the RIT campus map (just watching the network traffic in Firefox), and I found something very useful: the building occupancy API!

Busyness indicators are something that I wanted, since the actual RIT dining website has them, but that's not included in the dining data so I assumed that my only option was to scrape the site if I really wanted them, which would suck because the site being slow is the main reason that I'm making this app. 1/?

#programming #iosdev #RIT

So about the dining app- RIT’s dining website is the slowest thing ever. It takes legitimately 20-30 seconds to refresh sometimes, which is really annoying when you want to quickly check if a location is open or not before you start walking there, especially because we’ve got a decent number of dining options here that all have different hours.

But it’s not hopeless! There’s an API from something called TigerCenter available… 1/?

#programming #iosdev #RIT

On a related note though, I’ve been working on an app for my college because their dining website sucks and makes it really annoying to do basic things like check the hours of a given location before I cross campus to go there.

I made a nice little native SwiftUI app that pulls from an API that thankfully exists to get all of the dining info and displays it efficiently and in a way that’s easy to check quickly. More details soon!
