Show HN: Faceoff – A terminal UI for following NHL games

#1

Post by vcf »

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).

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.

Super fun! Nice job shipping!

Different sport though, but neat visualizations.

> 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 :)
