Warning

Every time I publish a new release, my account is flagged by GitHub and the repo vanish. Therefore I have to send a reinstatement request, which can take time. (Asked why 4 times and didn't got any precise answer...). I'm thinking of moving the app permanently to Codeberg, as the code is already mirrored there. So if you want to open an issue, please open it there instead.

Notes

I'm developing this app in my free time, so I appreciate feedback and welcome PRs!

(Box, Box! is unofficial software and in no way associated with the Formula 1 group of companies nor the Formula E group of companies.)

Some interesting Formula 1 related projects:

• The amazing Ergast API.
• bacinger/f1-circuits: geo points for the map of each circuit.
• theOehrly/Fast-F1: client for live telemetry (upcoming) and stats, in Python.
• slowlydev/f1-dash: feature-rich livetiming webview used by the app.
