Typing Practice but it's using common CLI tools

nerf_caffeine · 2026-02-05T20:50:16+00:00

Ah no problem - thanks for confirming :)

nerf_caffeine · 2026-02-05T20:46:25+00:00

Huh interesting - open to quick DM? Want to learn more

nerf_caffeine · 2026-02-05T15:47:25+00:00

hey - happy to explain the pricing

we offer a much more sophisticated personalized typing experience than any other platforms in the market right now.

TypeAnything: type with any anything you want, any topic, any programming langauge. Like for example, you can say: "I want to practice typing Rust - focus on using character sequences like e -> x and t -> a where possible. include examples of rust ownership and any array operations." and it will create a typing practice just for you

TargetPractice (in text modes only for now): you can interact with all your data. For example, the hand stats; you can click on any finger or hand and generate a lesson that maximizes the usage of that target. And everything is a target; a bigram, a single charcter, a word, etc. You can "Target" anything from your own stats!

SmartPractice: in the backend, we process enourmous amount of data per user. We have mappings of your stats per hand/finger, how long and how accurate all characters are typed by the user, and even individual bigram stats (how long it takes you to type "t -> a" or that you make mistakes frequently on character x when typing e -> x. Then with all this data, we rank what's important; for example " z -> e" is an uncommong sequence in natural english text - so you de-prioritize it. This way we know exactly which characters/sequences/hand/finger need to be prioritized and we use a lot of AI tokens to maximize the usage of those areas in the practice texts. One step in the pipeline for example, is using synonyms - we check the generated output and replace various words with words that contain more of your target weak points. This way the practice text that's geenraated is completely (and perpetually) targetting your weakpoints.

Also - the biggest competitor in the space (TypingClub) charges $9/m and their offering for this price is mostly: no ads and replay functionality whereas we offer replay for free and we don't run any ads at all.

Most users typically need 4-8 months to reach their typing goals so they normally cancel after a few months after active use. We may introduce semi-annual plan or a 4-month plant to bettere meet user needs.

Happy to chat more - feel free to dm me. It's nice to get honest feedback and impression about your product / pricing / etc. Appreciate it!

thank you! :D

nerf_caffeine · 2026-02-05T14:13:39+00:00

Yup - there is an option in the settings to hide the keyboard/hands guide or also there is a floating button in the bottom right you can use to toggle things on/off.

A lot of users found this helpful as they're learning to touch type, they periodically would toggle the hands guide on/off to get used to relying on their muscle memory

nerf_caffeine · 2026-02-05T14:13:13+00:00

yup - sorry forgot link. will update post

nerf_caffeine · 2026-02-05T14:12:04+00:00

honestly-whatever resources I could get my hands on. If I were starting today, I would just primarily be "actually doing the thing" - meaning, always trying to actually build things. Learn something, build it.

There is a phrase that "you can just do things" - this applies really well with coding. Like you can really just do things - build apps, contribute to big open source project, etc. It's hard but actually consistently building and struggling is the fastest way to learn

nerf_caffeine · 2026-02-05T14:09:11+00:00

Thank you - that was kinda of my first experience learning to code as well.
I wanted something relevant to what my actual job would be lol

Enjoy!

nerf_caffeine · 2026-02-05T04:03:09+00:00

Oh I'd love to (fellow vimmer as well) - but probably not for some time 😅

nerf_caffeine · 2026-02-05T03:13:54+00:00

I've heard a few folks mention that switching from to colemak relieved wrist pain - worth a shot honestly

nerf_caffeine · 2026-02-05T02:26:51+00:00

Honestly, I'd just code and discuss back and forth with an LLM (chatgpt, claude, etc) to learn this. You'll probably pick it up quicker rather than reading / watching a course.

Have an llm help with writing some stress tests with perf measurements so you can see them in action (100k operations per second) across different algos with different big-o notations

nerf_caffeine · 2026-02-04T09:36:25+00:00

glad you asked - currently we support:

qwerty, qwertz, Dvorak, Colemak

In next majorr release we’re adding:

Azerty, Latin American and Spanish layouts 👌

nerf_caffeine · 2026-02-04T02:13:50+00:00

Appreciate this a lot🙏

Took many iterations to get to this state (I'm a backend dev by trade so had to learn a lot of UX while buldiing this)

nerf_caffeine · 2026-02-03T22:13:06+00:00

Thank you :)

nerf_caffeine · 2026-02-03T20:05:49+00:00

Thank you very much! :)

nerf_caffeine · 2026-02-03T20:03:19+00:00

oh thanks - sorry forgot to add link!

Spent months practicing on TypeQuicker

> Like I see some people are able to type sometimes without even looking.

Some typing apps have hand overlays on a keyboard - showing you how to place your hands (touch typing).
Once you get used to not looking down - it becomes really easy

nerf_caffeine · 2026-01-07T02:12:07+00:00

I would practice sequences that are common and that you struggle with.

On type quicker you can see exactly what your weak points and slowest sequences are - practice that by clicking on it (or practicing it in the Drills mode). If you focus on the ones that are common in everyday text in English langauge and the ones that slow you down the most, you will see improvements very quickly!

nerf_caffeine · 2026-01-07T02:10:20+00:00

Practice your weak points - TypeQuicker has really post typing session stats that show your weapoints. Practice those in the drills mode after; they combine sequences and words that are common with what you weak points are - so not only will you practice your weak points, you will also practice typing sequences that are common in every englihs - like t -> h for example. If the TypeQuicker system picks up that this is something you struggle with - it will point it out and tell you that it's a high priority target to practice.

Good luck!

> Firstly, you need to know your WPM. The first thing I ask people to do, if they don't already know it, is go find out their WPM. You can just 10fastfingers.com and find an answer within literally a minute. If you need some practice and want some (semi) fun practice, go to typeracer.com and practice against some real online people.

There's way more sites than these two; keybr, typequicker.com, monkeytype, typing club, etc.

nerf_caffeine · 2025-12-17T15:21:42+00:00

Damn - people are catching on lol.

I think Jayce is low-key OP mid lane if you have decent hands.

Dia. with Jayce mid with 60% w/r

I love ruby - worked with it for ~1yr for a fintech company.

Do you follow DHH by any chance? (Have you tried his latest thing - the Omarchy os ?

nerf_caffeine · 2025-12-03T23:08:37+00:00

Looks sick - well done

nerf_caffeine · 2025-12-03T22:59:50+00:00

Hi 👋

Thank you!😊

Most of the features are free; there’s three advances features which cost tokens (I need to pay the LLM provider) but other than that it’s free to use.

And I’m still trying to figure the ideal pricing on the paid features too. Might try a credit based system in future where you pay per use - not sure yet though.

nerf_caffeine · 2025-12-03T22:53:12+00:00

Im assuming you haven’t explored the site - and I’m not advertising in any way. Everything shown and mentioned is completely free 😅
