Using Replit to get our grandfather the daily baseball scores

The author of the text, who is also a professional baseball player, was having dinner with his in-laws when his grandfather-in-law came over with a problem - the San Francisco Chronicle stopped including daily MLB scores in their paper. The author, being familiar with the issue, offered to build a solution using Replit, an underrated coding platform that allows users to build software without extensive coding knowledge. With Replit's Scheduled Deployments feature, the author was able to automate sending the scores to his grandfather-in-law each day via email. To achieve this, he built a script that scraped the MLB scores from a public website and used AI-powered tools like Selenium and Resend to parse the data and send it via email. The solution was completed in just a couple of days and cost less than $0.50 per month to run.
