Courtside – TUI for NBA Games
Hi HN, I made this after seeing a few similar projects on the front page. NBA API endpoints are public and there’s a pretty robust python package ( https://github.com/swar/nba_api ) that I referenced for the endpoint structure to build an sdk in go. used BubbleTea and LipGloss for styling. It was a bit tricky to test the live endpoints but I watched Friday’s Final game with this and it worked pretty well playball - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45451577 faceoff - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47826104

In plain words
Courtside is a terminal user interface for following NBA games in real-time. Built in Go using the public NBA API, it displays live game data with styled formatting through BubbleTea and LipGloss. The tool is designed for developers and basketball fans who want to watch games from the command line, offering an alternative to web-based viewing.

A terminal UI for following NBA games, box scores, and standings. Browse the day's games, drill into a live or finished game for its full box score and play-by-play, jump to any date to see past results, and check the league standings. Games in progress refresh on their own while you watch. These are unofficial, undocumented endpoints, so there's no API key or account required but they can change or rate-limit without notice. Live games auto-refresh roughly every 15 seconds. git clone https://github.com/NolanFogarty/courtside.git cd courtside go build -o courtside sudo mv courtside /usr/local/bin/ Install with go install go install github.com/NolanFogarty/courtside@latest Usage courtside…from github.com

Faceoff – A terminal UI for following NHL gamesApr 2026 · vincentgregoire.com · ▲136Faceoff is a TUI app written in Python to follow live NHL games and browse standings and stats. I got the inspiration from Playball, a similar TUI app for MLB games that was featured on HN. The app was mostly vibe-coded with Claude Code, but not one-shot. I added features and fixed bugs by using it, as I spent way too much time in the terminal over the last few months. Try it out with `uvx faceoff` (requires uv).

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
