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.

🛠️ Key Features

🎮 5v5 Real-time Multiplayer: Jump into live lobbies and race against real players in real time.
⚡ Low Latency Performance: Powered by Socket.io and Next.js for instant input feedback and smooth room sync.
📊 Live Stats Tracking: Real-time WPM, accuracy metrics, and performance feedback as you race.
💬 Lobby Chat: Connect and chat with other players between matches.
