alt Hacker NewsBuilding the most effective typing application
This is something that started as a passion project - I wanted to see just how effective of a typing application I could make to help people improve typing speed quickly.
It’s very data driven and personalized. We analyze a lot of key weak points about a user’s typing and generate natural text (using LLMs) that target multiple key weak points at once.
Additionally we have a lot of typing modes.
- Code typing practice; we support 20+ programming languages - daily typing test - target practice; click on on any stat in the results and we generate natural text that uses a lot of that (bigrams, trigrams, words, fingers, etc).
I’ve tried it and really enjoyed how it works. I’d like to suggest a small UX improvement: for a typing app, it would be much easier to avoid using the mouse. When a practice ends, the user should be able to press the RETURN key to move to the next practice. (instead of clicking the Continue button)
