Very nice product. I usually do typing practices in typeracer but the fragments on your sites are a lot longer, I like that a lot.
I'm sure you won't get this request very often (until you go international...), but I'm using these practices mostly for practicing my dvorak skills ;-). Would it be possible to have a setting for a keyboard layouts?
As I write this I realize that different layouts would mean a different lesson structure as well...

Okay, here some more feedback after trying some practises in my native tongue (dutch).
- Response seems quite slow. If I type above 50wpm the text can't keep up with me (which is _very_ annoying and makes it quite hard to use).
- If you miss a letter (or space), everything else is considered 'wrong'. It might be nice if you would recognize (after two or three 'wrong' letters) that it actually misses a letter or space, and add a visual confirmation of that.
- If you give a custom url and press <enter> that doesn't work, you'll have to click the 'go' button.
- Using a random wiki article usually just sucks, most of the random articles are articles with a lot of 'sidebar' information that you'll have to type. First hit today was this one, try it ;-) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buochs http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buochs
- kaffeinecoma 16y agoHuppie, tried to contact you but I can't find your email. Can you tell me what OS/Browser you were using? One of the major goals of the app is for it to be blazing fast, and not have any lag issues. I mainly use OSX+Safari, but I test on Firefox, Chrome and IE8, and it works quite well for me in testing. I also agree with what you have to say about the random wikipedia links; I tried really hard to filter out as much boilerplate stuff as I can, but sadly Wikipedia isn't as structured as you might expect it to be. Thanks very much for the feedback.
