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

2026-04-19 @ 17:44:44Points: 94Comments: 33

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).

I've been presenting at local meetups about Context Engineering, RAG, Skills, etc.. I even have a vbrownbag coming up on LinkedIn about this topic so I figured I would make a basic example that uses bedrock so I can use it in my talks or vbrownbags. Hopefully it's useful.
