I built a World Cup 2026 terminal app you can use over SSH

I've been learning Go and wanted a project that felt a little different from another web app.

So I built a terminal-based World Cup 2026 viewer that runs on a VPS and can be accessed directly over SSH.

Features:

Live match tracking
Fixtures
Group standings
Real World Cup data from ESPN
Terminal UI built with Bubble Tea

Tech stack:

Go
Bubble Tea
Wish SSH server
Systemd
VPS deployment

The app fetches World Cup data, caches it locally, and serves the TUI through an SSH server.

You don't need to install anything besides SSH.

ssh worldcup2026.jaredfurtado.tech

Still improving it, but it's been a fun way to learn more about Go, Linux, deployment, and terminal applications.
