An AI first typing application.

I think anyone can learn touch typing and potentially 2x their typing speed.

We make typing practice engaging and data driven.

Came here to say this - I have always been extremely cautious and assumed most things online were just marketing tactics. But I never realize how far and how strategic some of these campaigns are.

I’ve recently started really getting my hands dirty with marketing for an app I’m building and the things I’ve learned in the past year have made me questions many of my views on things. At some point you realize that it’s all marketing or some form of effort to exert influence.

A good book somewhat related to this is Attention Merchants

I believe anyone can learn to type fast - I think it just takes the right tools to make it interesting enough for the users to use consistently

I don't have time right now to provide a full/quality answer with more examples - you can do a bit of seraching online to learn more.

Also from personal expeirence as well (from family and friends). When their kids comeover they have tiktok on their phone and roblox on their laptop

I've been a heavy nvim/vim user my entire life and while all these TUI-based coding agents are great (claude code, codex, opencode, etc) I still feel like a vim/nvim coding agent (if built well) can really dominate this space for vim/nvim users. I think most TUIs are too opinionated and limited.

I've tried building out some basic local scripts and nvim functionality via lua but I don't have time nor the skill set necessary build a quality extension.

I've searched online but haven't found anything yet. Has any experimented with any projects in this space?

I would completely disagree with this (product dependent).

If your product is a consumer app - I would highly prioritize and understand SEO before even having a product complete. Develop a good understanding of SEO around your product domain and niche.

If it’s a B2B - then yes, I would agree.

Focusing on just English for now but hoping to add Spanish, French and a few other locales.

Regarding layouts: we already support;

- QWERTZ (German layout) - Qwerty - Dvorak - Colemak

This includes the visual guide and the hand positioning.

Adding more soon! But these have been the most requested

Good point - yeah, the idea is that it can help users stop looking down at the keyboards. It serves as a visual guide for how to position there hands correctly using the standard “touch typing” positioning.

Thanks for mentioning it was confusing - I’ll add a short Driver.js walkthrough that explains what it’s for

> 1 Month instead of "Monthly" as it's a subscription and you're not really purchasing a "one month pass", correct?

Goo point - I have monthly/annually below but it might be confusing still. I’ll update to clarify. Thanks

Anyone can learn to type fast - I think it just takes the right tools to make it interesting enough for the users to use daily

In general - I don’t know if it’s a coincidence but here on HN for example, I’ve noticed an increasing amount of comments and posts emphasizing the narrative of how “well- intended” Anthropic is.

I’m curious if anyone here has successfully moved to using a dumb phone. By dumb phone - I mean literally texting / calling only. No internet, etc.

Immediate isssues I see is not being able to use Authenticator apps. Not being able to use maps. Etc.

Has anyone made the switch and how to best go about it?

We’re aiming to build the best typing application; personalized to every users typing habits.

Typing is one of the most important hard skills today and yet most education systems skip it.

Most of our customers are adults who always wanted to type but can’t find the time. We make it faster to learn and improve by focusing around the user’s weak points (with our features like SmartPractice and TargetPractice)
