Project S-Bahn-Verspätet

Goal: a simple app that sends an alert to my phone when my daily train (S-Bahn) is delayed

Roadmap:

1. create Python script that pulls train schedules from Deutsche Bahn web

   • simple web scrapping: BeautifulSoup
   • simple programming tasks: get journey details (origin, destination, time), check train schedules, find if delayed, notify

2. create bot that can send a message to phone

   • use Telegram bot

3. integrate Python scripts with bot scripts

   • maybe allow for some interaction with user?

4. create web app

   • simple Flask web app

5. deploy on the cloud for continuous run

   • Heroku
