AI BriefingHow to Deliver Daily Baseball Scores to Grandpa Using Replit
Key point
A user with little coding experience built a system to automatically deliver daily baseball scores using **Replit** and **AI**.
Details
For a grandfather who was having trouble because baseball scores disappeared from the daily newspaper, a user with little coding experience developed a custom solution using Replit.
Instead of simply using an existing app, they designed an automated process using Replit's Scheduled Deployments feature to deliver scores at a set time every day.
The development process was as follows:
- Web Scraping: Initially, they tried to extract text from a web page using BeautifulSoup, but ran into difficulties with data parsing and formatting.
- Using Selenium: Following a suggestion from Replit AI, they adopted Selenium to take a screenshot of the score section of the web page.
- AI-Based Code Modification: By having AI add code to adjust the page padding, they implemented a system that captured the score information accurately without it being cut off.
This case shows a shift in thinking that goes beyond simply acquiring coding skills, using coding as a creative tool to solve problems.
