scorecard

Minimal baseball scores for android, built for light phone iii.

scorecard is written in kotlin with jetpack compose and material3 primitives. it uses ktor + kotlinx.serialization against the public MLB Stats API, with no account system, ads, analytics, or api keys. the interface is intentionally black-and-white, low-motion, and low-data friendly.
