Timeline
typr has evolved from a simple typing test into a comprehensive typing training platform with beautiful themes and real-world code practice. Each phase has focused on both functionality and user experience, resulting in a polished, professional application that rivals commercial typing software
The development of typr began as a basic Vue.js prototype with fundamental typing logic but was hindered by critical bugs, including crashes from word generation errors and incorrect cursor positioning. The initial focus was on stabilizing the application by fixing these core issues, preventing memory leaks by properly managing the game timer, and refining the backspace functionality. With a stable foundation, the user experience was enhanced by adding an accuracy metric alongside WPM and making the input feel more responsive. The project was then rebranded from its original name to the sleeker typr, establishing a new identity. The final phase was a complete UI/UX overhaul, where the layout was restructured for responsiveness, and a modern, polished aesthetic was introduced with a new color palette, improved typography, and subtle animations to create the engaging and visually appealing typing game it is today.
Really cool project! It has taught me that I am quite slow at programming in comparison to normal typing.
Although I think it would be really cool to also have the CTRL + Backspace keybind as it is really slow to manually backspace a word.
