Hi DEV 👋
I type every day—code, emails, docs, messages. Like most people, I’ve used typing test websites for years. They tell you your WPM, maybe your accuracy, and then… that’s it.
I never really felt like I was improving.
At some point, I realized that most typing tools are great at measuring performance, but not very good at helping you get better. They reset everything after each test, even though the mistakes I made were usually the same ones.
That observation pushed me to think differently about typing practice:
- What if practice focused on mistakes instead of speed?
- What if weak keys and patterns mattered more than a single score?
- What if progress was tracked over time, not per test?
This curiosity eventually led me to start building my own tool and learning a lot along the way. I’m still early in the journey and figuring things out as I go.
I’m sharing this here to learn from the community:
- Have typing tests actually helped you improve?
- Do you practice typing regularly, or only test occasionally?
- What would make a typing tool worth using daily?
Looking forward to learning from your experiences 🙂
