Wow, thank you so much for sharing this. I'm a frequent jq-to-less piper and probably a more frequent mobile browsing opener of ESPN scoreboards/subsequent grumbler about ESPN's web performance and experience. I think I'll get a lot of mileage out of plaintextsports as long as it stays up. I will also be sure to check out Jless next time I'm at my command line with sufficient bandwidth to tinker with my tooling/workflow. Cheers!

thanks for plaintextsports too!

don't know what's going on inside of espn but their web experience (mobile or not) is just terrible - and i don't bother with the app. was really looking for something like how simple yahoo sports was back in the day, and plaintextsports seems to be it.

Thanks to the both of you! plaintextsports was my real passion project over the past year (probably 3x more time spent on it than jless!), so I really appreciate it when other people find value in it. I'm a Milwaukee Bucks fan and building a site explicitly so I could follow the team more easily certainly made winning the championship more personally meaningful.
