Hey DEV Community! 👋
I'm excited to share a project I've been building and tuning over the past few months: TypingOverIt.com — a real-time, 5v5 competitive player-vs-player typing game designed specifically for speed enthusiasts and developers.
💡 Why Typing Over It?
Most typing platforms focus on solo tests or basic head-to-head racing against a timer. I wanted to build something more interactive and social — bringing the excitement of 5v5 lobby mechanics and real-time competition to typing practice.
Whether you're looking to take a quick break between pull requests, improve your accuracy, or prove your WPM to your peers, Typing Over It is built to deliver a clean, fast-paced environment.
