Thank you! Fantasy baseball is what did it for me. It's much better than the other fantasy sports. Highly recommend.

Any platforms you recommend? Fivver?

- will add the title bar idea to to-do list - yeh would love to mirror the backyard baseball format where it's batters box view and then whole field for play resolution

Did you add Ribbie to your home screen? That mobile version makes better use of the full phone screen.

This is gold - thanks for taking the time try it out and write this up.

Yes! Will check this out for inspiration.

I used Claude and Codex heavily to help build this, yep.

Appreciate it!

Big fan of Nick and the team at PL. Working on a feature actually that will sync and track your fantasy team so you can drop in on them when they’re pitching or at the plate.

Chrome/Mac working for me with touchpad. Desktop? Windows or Mac?
Re:Show HN: An 8-bit live gamecast for baseball on Wednesday June 17, 2026 @02:34PM (#48574679)
This is really kind of you. I poured myself into this project :)
Re:Show HN: An 8-bit live gamecast for baseball on Wednesday June 17, 2026 @02:30PM (#48574632)
Cool project! Like the scorecard style. Will check out that API, too.
Re:Show HN: An 8-bit live gamecast for baseball on Wednesday June 17, 2026 @02:27PM (#48574576)
Amazing. Did the 'homerun' animations go off properly for you?
Re:Show HN: An 8-bit live gamecast for baseball on Wednesday June 17, 2026 @02:25PM (#48574544)
Yes! Sound effects coming soon. Thought about an AI-generated voice commentary, but the cost would add up quickly for a free side project.
Re:Show HN: An 8-bit live gamecast for baseball on Wednesday June 17, 2026 @02:06PM (#48574264)
Appreciate the feedback. Aiming to do another pass soon on the aesthetic consistency and animation style. Lmk if you have any specific examples!
