Faceoff – A terminal UI for following NHL games

Faceoff 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).

In plain words

Faceoff is a terminal user interface application built in Python that lets users follow live NHL games and browse team standings and statistics. Designed for those who work primarily in the terminal, it provides real-time game information without leaving the command line. The app can be launched with `uvx faceoff` and requires the uv package manager.

    Courtside – TUI for NBA GamesJun 2026 · github.com · ▲19

    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

    I build a Fantasy NHL app in 3 days with Claude AI2025 · ▲35

    I am not from North America, and moved there a couple years ago. After being invited to the first fantasy league and seeing the platform they were using, I couldn't bring myself to check it every day. An excel sheet would have been more appealing to use than this. So I decided to create my own. But on the side? This would take ages. I am very confident with Rust and JavaScript, but it still takes ages to build something like that. Good prompts, and a few long nights later, and I could create something fun and easy to use. Have a look: https://fantasy-frontend.fly.dev/ The…

    With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
