Ideas

Ideas that can be implemented

1. Get static mess menu

Pros	Cons
Easy to develop	Regular changes to be made a/c to change in menu

2. Master-child node architecture (one app will replay daily mess menu data to it's child nodes)

Pros	Cons
No cost & concrete implementation	The master node should be trust-worthy, should be handled by mess authority

3. Using Open-CV to interpret the whiteboard and replay the data to nodes

Pros	Cons
Automated, no man power required	Error prone, relatively costly

Raspberry Pi and buttons labelled with different food items.
Click them,click the finalize button, it'll replay the data to the nodes.

This concept can be implemented on top of Idea #2.

We can also build a bot, which will replay the data when asked for on Telegram, using public APIs for popular platforms.

Pros	Cons
Will remove building app for child nodes, no app installations	Account on Telegram, Facebook, popular websites
