This is great. I recently asked AI how many software devs played hockey. It estimated 25k - 50k globally. It also called it a 'prestige sport' which never occurred to me (what with all the guys with missing teeth). But the cost of playing is getting significant. Still the most fun sport to play and watch.<p>Thanks for this - TUI is awesome.

Nice! I was thinking about doing something like this but for cycling, however one of the biggest PIA about building products for sports is all the gating of data.<p>Does the NHL really provide an API for all games? That's nice...
Officially no, but there is undocumented API (if you are commercial, they provide documentation and support) that is public without authentication.
I had the same thought, went ahead when I found an existing Python module to access the API.
Do the endpoints still work?<p><a href="https://api-web.nhle.com/v1" rel="nofollow">https://api-web.nhle.com/v1</a><p>Keeping upto date endpoints for sport scores is the most difficult challenge.
It's like the reinvention of Teletext
Link to the API Client is incorrect at the bottom: <a href="https://github.com/nhl-stats-api-client" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/nhl-stats-api-client</a> instead of <a href="https://github.com/liahimratman/nhl-api-client" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/liahimratman/nhl-api-client</a>
nIce! Does it have player in-game stats like TOI and +/-?<p>This reminds me of that f1 tui… <a href="https://github.com/JustAman62/undercut-f1" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/JustAman62/undercut-f1</a> or <a href="https://github.com/IAmTomShaw/f1-race-replay" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/IAmTomShaw/f1-race-replay</a>. The one I’m thinking of syncs with kodi for delayed playback “live” stats.
Not a hockey fan but i absolutely love this
Nice, I've now created dozens of little personal tools like this now :-)<p>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.
Same — similar pile accumulating, and GitHub has fallen way behind. I keep going back and forth on whether a monorepo is the right answer or if it'd just make the sprawl more legible without actually helping. How are you organizing yours?
> It's awesome to be able to build anything you want (as long as it's not too complex).<p>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".
Super fun! Nice job shipping!
> Acknowledgments - This project was inspired by Playball, a similar terminal application for following MLB baseball games.<p>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 :)
Having long ago built an app that does gamecasts for multiple sports, similar to what you get from ESPN, every sport is completely different. There's almost nothing that matches up, except for the very basic concept of a box score. Even play by play has enough differences to be vastly different
not terminal, but fwiw: <a href="https://plaintextsports.com" rel="nofollow">https://plaintextsports.com</a>
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).
That’s not bad. One of my favorite times is college football season with a big game on say, ABC. You quickly learn who it watching OTA, who is watching on cable and who has YoutubeTV based on the different reaction times after a big play.
Wicked. Who is your team?
What next? Perhaps a small scripting language to run on the side of the terminal?<p>You know, just to make some simple automations possible, nothing super-special.
settle down
Go Habs!
The missing interface from sports.
