> Acknowledgments - This project was inspired by Playball, a similar terminal application for following MLB baseball games.
Should've gone for something generalized that could handle a bunch of different games, instead of just another sport, so someone caring about multiple sports don't need multiple TUIs :)

Different sports have different ways to present the data. But most importantly, the data availability differs a lot between leagues, so there’s a benefit to having separate tools. I, for one, would not want to maintain an app for all sports.

Nice! In practice, how far behind the TV broadcast does it end up being?

Not too much, but it’s using a Rest API, so it also depends on the refresh rate (default 30 seconds, configurable with cli argument).

Nice, I've now created dozens of little personal tools like this now :-)
This is IMHO the killer AI feature for personal use. So many utlities I never would have spent time on are now within reach. Even just non-trivial bashrc aliases and functions

Yeah, I completely agree. It's awesome to be able to build anything you want (as long as it's not too complex). I, too, have at least a dozen, and I usually don't share, but with the playoffs starting, I felt others could enjoy this one.

That's the thing. It was always awesome, as long as it wasn't too complex. The only thing that changed for me what was "too complex".
