Description

Hey all!I built Golazo because I wanted a minimal but effective way to get soccer live updates and catch up on finished matches right in my terminal. No browser tabs, no ads, no distractions: just clean match data where I already spend most of my day.I couldn’t find any actively maintained tool like this, so I thought it could be cool to build something just for what I need. It was a great learning experience and if it’s useful to other people, then even better!Current features:- Live match tracking with real-time score updates (90-second polling intervals)- Minute-by-minute match events (goals, cards, substitutions)- Finished match statistics and full event history - Goal notifications via beeep (macOS, Linux, Windows)- 40+ leagues supported (and growing) with customizable preferences to limit what you fetch- Smart caching: data cached for 5 minutes, polling only when viewing live matchesTechnical details:- Built with Go using Cobra for CLI, Charm’s Bubble Tea/Bubbles/Lip Gloss for the TUI- Data from a trimmed-down version of the Fotmob API- Cross-platform terminal rendering has been the biggest challenge – still working through some rough edgesEasy to install via install script or build from source. Pre-built binaries available for macOS, Windows, and Linux.Would love to hear feedback from fellow terminal enthusiasts and soccer fans!
