ice-info 🚆

A simple python file to display the information of the ice-portal on the command line. I hacked this together on the train from Hamburg to Basel in December 2023 while checking out the ICE-Portal. Read more about it in my blogpost.

• viz.py - The "main" tool to visualize a trip to the terminal
