Earlier quoted context omitted.

I'm never going to use this as I don't want to install node just to run command line utilities, but I really like the way the interface is presented.

This is a good point. Just out of curiosity I decided to check it out - it has 905 dependencies totaling 136M on top of the runtime, that seems like a bit of a stretch for something seemingly simple.

Fun project idea: implementation of the stats.nba.com API which provides simulated, or fantasy games. Two use cases: 1. Why wait for the actual NBA games? Instead, follow a simulated league that “plays” as many games as you want to consume (but the games are played at real world speed). 2. You, and your friends, are the managers! Follow along as the results of your management decisions are played out.

nice job, but single purpose apps like this are kinda meh... Unless the ONLY sports you care about is in fact the NBA. Otherwise, you'd still need to visit some sports site for updates. I would imagine this can be easily made sports agnostic? Maybe not... Maybe not all the leagues have a realtime API or they do not conform to the same interface.
