01 / The problem
A printed hostel menu does not immediately answer what is being served now or which meal comes next. Students need a fast, readable schedule.
02 / The approach
The home page highlights the current or next meal, its serving window, and its menu items. It also lists the day's schedule and links to a weekly view and meal ratings.
03 / Inside the build
The source uses Next.js and TypeScript with Supabase dependencies. Meal calculations use Indian local time, and the home page updates its clock every 30 seconds. The repository contains administration routes for maintaining menus.
04 / Contributions and outcome
This is a public repository owned by Rudransh with a hosted URL supplied in its GitHub metadata. The source explicitly describes its menu transcription as pending verification. This portfolio does not claim the schedule is an official or verified mess notice.
05 / Lessons to document
Useful topics for an owner-written follow-up include midnight transitions, meal service boundaries, and keeping the menu current. The repository includes tests for its meal-time and menu logic.
