Description
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 wellplayball - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45451577faceoff - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47826104

Could you build this?
Yes Courtside is a terminal UI (TUI) written in Go using BubbleTea and LipGloss that polls standard NBA stats endpoints. Wrapping public REST endpoints into terminal widgets is a straightforward vibe-coding task.
