This update mostly includes improvements related to sorting and filtering the main dining location list, including:
- Favorites! You can mark locations as your favorites by swiping them on the list or pressing the star button on their detail page. Favorites are sorted to the top.
- "Hide Closed Locations" has been moved to a dedicated sort/filter button in the bottom left corner. This looks best on iOS 26+, where it sits nicely to the left of the search bar.
- Added an "Open Locations First" option to sort open locations above closed locations, if you want to know what's open quicker without entirely hiding closed locations.
Other improvements:
- Made most asynchronous code properly async instead of bouncing between DispatchQueue.main.async{} and .sync{}.
- Added a timer to refresh open statuses every 3 seconds while on the main list, so that when the time changes the open statuses will change appropriately. It seemed silly to force you to fetch the data again just to do a quick "hey is current time in range?".
- Made date formatter shared so there aren't 3 separate copies of it.
Reworked the detail view for locations to use the screen space more effectively and show the day's visiting chefs and daily specials, as well as the hours for the entire week.
The visiting chef screen has also been massively reworked to show all visiting chefs under what location they're in, with their times for the day and an indicator marking their status (one of: "Here Now", "Arriving Later", "Ariving Soon", "Leaving Soon", and "Left For Today"). These markers are also used in location's detail view. There's also an arrow in the top right that switches the visiting chef screen from today's visiting chefs to tomorrow's, so you can scout out what you might want to get tomorrow.
Locations are also now sorted alphabetically on the main menu, to make finding the location you're looking for easier.
