Wtf does this do

This is a terminal-based app for following the Indian Premier League cricket tournament. Instead of opening a browser or a sports app, you can check scores, schedules, and standings directly inside your command-line window. The README shows four views: a live match status screen with the current score and over-by-over updates, a full list of all matches, the points table showing team standings, and the upcoming match schedule. All of these are displayed as formatted text in the terminal. The simplest way to use it requires no installation. You run a single SSH command pointing to a hosted server, and the interface appears immediately in your terminal. The project is written in Go and the README is minimal, consisting mostly of screenshots rather than setup or configuration instructions.
