Visualize UMich Dining

Ever found yourself wondering if today's food at UMich’s dining halls is tasty, but as a non-native speaker, you’re unsure what dishes like "Chicken and Andouille Gumbo" actually look like? Manually searching each item is tedious—but this script makes it easy!

How It Works

  • Copy: Instantly copies the food name to your clipboard.
  • Search Image: Opens a Google Image search in a new tab.
  • Auto Image Search (with API Key, OPTIONAL):
    • Get a Google API key for free and enter it in the API key input box in the bottom-right corner. The script will automatically fetch food images from sections like "Signature Maize," "Signature Blue," "Halal," "Two Oceans," "Wild Fire Maize," and "Wild Fire Blue."
    • You get up to 100 requests per day for free from Google!
    • Image Caching: Images are cached locally for up to 20 days, reducing API requests.

Installation

  1. Install a userscript manager like Tampermonkey.
  2. Add the script from visualize_umich_dining.user.js.
  3. Enable "developer mode" if needed.
  4. Try it out at any UMich dining hall menu page.
