Summary

This is an SMS price tracker built using Twilio Programmable SMS and Node.js. The application allows users to track the prices of their desired sneakers and receive alerts when the price drops below a certain threshold. The application uses the Sneaks API to retrieve sneaker data and Twilio's Programmable SMS API to send notifications to the user. The application is built using a modular approach, with separate files for handling incoming messages and scheduling tasks. The code includes helper functions for retrieving sneaker data and sending notifications, making it easy to maintain and extend the application.
