stock-checker running as a DigitalOcean App Platform work

My DigitalOcean App Platform Hackathon entry: stock-checker

Just a short cross-post to say I have entered the DigitalOcean App Platform Hackathon.

stock-checker is a golangapp that spawns a task every hour to check whether any of the following UK retailers have an Xbox Series X console in stock:

This is done using a web automation library that navigates each site in a headless chromium browser.

If the app determines stock is available, a text message is sent using Twilio to the configured mobile number.

The full details can be found over on DEV.

The source can be found on GitHub.
