Today's lap swim schedule at Baltimore's Waverly and Towson Ys in the terminal.

Schedules are scraped with Playwright, logged to stdout, and cached in a local json file for the day. The app is ran automatically by launchd on login and every 5 minutes.

• macOS
• jq installed via Homebrew at /opt/homebrew/bin/jq
• Node.js installed via nvm at ~/.nvm
• lapswim installed at ~/Code

1. Clone lapswim
2. Install dependencies

npm i

3. Copy the sample plist file to your user agent directory and rename it

cp ./src/local.lapswim.plist.sample ~/Library/LaunchAgents/local.lapswim.plist

4. Edit the Program and StandardErrorPath key values in ~/Library/LaunchAgents/local.lapswim.plist so the paths correspond to your machine
5. Load the plist file with launchd

launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/local.lapswim.plist

6. Set an alias in your terminal config file

# .zshrc, .bashrc, etc
alias swim='node ~/Code/lapswim/src/lapswim.mjs'

7. Open a new terminal and run the swim alias to get today's lap swim times!
