Live wait times?

Anyone any ideas when the Live wait times feature on The Dibb will be fixed?

Cheers

Not anytime soon. They have changed the API drastically so it will need rewriting. I just don't have any spare time right now to do that.

Ah. OK thanks. I wonder why they've done that?

It is to save data. The app now only downloads the wait times once per day and caches them in a database. The API then only pushes the changes from that point forwards. That saves polling for the whole lot each time. Thus saving a small amount of data for each person but that adds up to a lot of data across all users.
