Show HN: Courtside – TUI for NBA Games

Posted by nolanfogarty 4 days ago

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

Thanks for making this and the others too!

Have you considered building a feature where game data is recorded so that we could then replay them later?

I just don't understand, why not add a little info, like where it's pulling data from. Is there just no interest in communicating anything to potential users? idk.

fair enough. I updated the README to include where data is coming from and more info on how to use the tool
