They just give random text to type.</p> <p>So I decided to build something smarter.</p> <p>🔹 The core idea</p> <p>Instead of random exercises, YouType analyzes your mistakes and focuses on the keys you struggle with the most.</p> <p>This way, you improve faster and more effectively.</p> <p>Key features</p> <ul> <li>Real-time WPM and accuracy tracking</li> <li>Personalized exercises based on your mistakes</li> <li>Detailed analytics (see weak keys)</li> <li>Structured lessons</li> <li>Typing tests with certificates</li> </ul> <p>Tech stack</p> <ul> <li>Frontend: JavaScript (SPA)</li> <li>Backend: Node.js + Express</li> <li>Database: SQLite</li> <li>Hosting: Render</li> </ul> <p>Why I built it</p> <p>I originally created YouType for Ukrainian users, because there wasn’t a modern typing trainer for that audience.</p> <p>Now I’m expanding to English and would love feedback from a global audience.</p> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Ftlsetvrhdjw65ol8x04y.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Ftlsetvrhdjw65ol8x04y.png" alt=" " width="800" height="453"></a><br> <a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fxsgl4eibn8vklit3ydav.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fxsgl4eibn8vklit3ydav.png" alt=" " width="800" height="452"></a><br> <a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fjxri6wjbd0wwbead358k.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fjxri6wjbd0wwbead358k.png" alt=" " width="800" height="453"></a>Try it</p> <p>👉 <a href="https://youtype.tech" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://youtype.tech</a></p> <p>Would really appreciate your thoughts 🙌</p> webdev productivity startup
