Watch Baseball Games in Realtime in 8-Bit View

This is kind of fantastic: Ribbie lets you watch actual MLB baseball games "rendered pitch by pitch in a cozy 8-bit view while they happen".

Ribbie is a simple way to keep a live baseball game nearby. It shows the score, the bases, the count, and a tiny pixel field that moves with the real game.<br>I built it because I wanted something between a stats tab and a full broadcast. Something you can leave open while you work, cook, or do whatever else, then glance over and know what is happening.

There are a few different views you can use. The image above is the fullscreen view. Here’s the fullscreen game chooser view and the room view of the game.

I love this. Nice use of Silkscreen too. 😊
