Post Description
Faceoff is a TUI app written in Python to follow live NHL games and browse standings and stats. I got the inspiration from Playball, a similar TUI app for MLB games that was featured on HN.
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).

Image prompt game with multi-signal CLIP/HSV/HOG scoring
The scoring model is the real clever bit: mixing semantic CLIP checks with a separate CLIP-based faithfulness test plus HSV and HOG-lite signals makes the feedback much harder to game than a single metric. The product wraps that into a tight, addictive loop—daily challenges, speed/unlimited modes and leaderboards—so it actually teaches you to write better prompts; just be aware it still inherits CLIP blind spots and could be optimized around the exact weighting scheme.
