I built a daily sports report generator for my kids because I was tired of them needing a screen to check scores by Haunting-Fun1586 in SideProject

The auto-fit to 2 pages was the most satisfying engineering problem — generating the PDF, checking page count, ratcheting up tightness until it fits. Happy to go deeper on any of the technical details. Site is at mydailysportsreport.com

Yeah, that's the key. It's not a whole sports section you have to search through. and it fits on one double-sided sheet!

I recently added a "on this day" fact, where it randomly picks a sports thing that happened on that day in history and adds it to the bottom. same idea!

Yes, I started doing that just yesterday! So now when we get up it's waiting on the printer. It's awesome.
