Sick of waiting for ESPN to load on your phone? I made a site that shows live NBA games, boxscores and play-by-play in plain text and loads instantly. No frills, and no waiting, just plain text sports:

- Worth staying up late for that Brewers win
- I loved the slow-motion over-the-shoulder replay of Gary Sanchez's strikeout. Without the strike zone overlay, you realize how impossible it is to tell a ball from a strike!! With ABS, get rid of the overlay! Let viewers appreciate the actual game instead of spoon-feeding it!
- The WNBA seems to have seen the light and rolled back (some of) their API changes, so WNBA games on @PlainTextSports should now have full box scores and play-by-play data (and I’ve backfilled the last month and a half of games), but I’d describe the situation as unstable at best.
- Treasuring these moments before the Dodgers roll into the playoffs with their two previous Cy Young award winners and three previous MVP winners.
