Several years ago (around 2015), I also developed a typing learning web application. It was inspired by another application that had originally been developed for Windows 95 - with that app, I learned how to type. So in 2015, I decided to implement a web-based version of it.

However, I just checked out keybr.com and have to say - it's a much better system for learning to type! As of today, I now realize I have a huge problem with the letter "q" - I had never noticed that before! ^^

keybr's algorithm is flawed, getting 1 extra WPM on "q" does way less progress than getting 1 extra WPM on "e", it's better than most of the things but also I wouldn't have made typr if it was perfect.

  • Btw, I also checked out your app, my feedback after 5 minutes: there was at least one case, where a word was splitted instead of clean word wrapping for line break, when the terminal is small.

    And one idea: do a audio bell on error, even for tui, this should just be the special "bell control char" written to stdout.
