Show HN: Typing Practice for Hackers
Traditional typing apps aren’t built for coding. They miss key features that coders need:
1) Syntax highlighting to replicate real coding environments.
2) Practice with tricky symbols like {, }, ;, and |.
3) Real-world coding snippets to make typing practice meaningful.
So I built typinghackers in 8 days with go (pocketbase), react (yes, shadcn xd) and sqlite. Rsync to the vps and let it go.
- pachun91 2y agoI created an account just to respond to this. I’ve been using keybr.com to learn to type on my very different ergonomic keyboards. I paid for keybr and spent about 30 minutes a day on it. I can type regular English on those keyboards great now. Every time I need to write code, though, I slide it aside and go back to the MS sculpt I’ve been using for 13 years now. I’ll be trying this out. Thanks.
