Sport Kiosk is a full-stack sports scoreboard application optimized for tablet/kiosk landscape display. An Express/TypeScript backend polls the public ESPN scoreboard API on a dynamic schedule (30s while games are live, 5min otherwise), optionally caching responses in Redis, and serves a React/Vite single-page frontend that shows live scores and upcoming games with auto-rotation.
Packaged as a single snap daemon: the backend serves the pre-built frontend assets itself (via express.static + an SPA fallback), so no separate nginx process or container is needed. Redis is optional and used opportunistically if reachable on 127.0.0.1:6379 -- the app runs correctly with no cache present, just with more frequent upstream ESPN requests.
