This is neat! Thanks for sharing!

One thing I've been looking for (and would pay money for) is a tool/game that helps me improve my typing speed in real-world scenarios, especially writing code and/or editing documents.

I purchased a subscription to keybr,[0] and it's pretty nice, but it assumes you're always typing brand new text linearly. There's no way to practice things like jumping to a previous line, jumping to the beginning of a line, deleting a word.

I recently switched to a Kinesis Advantage keyboard (my first mechanical keyboard), and I was able to build muscle memory for the standard letter and number keys in a few days, but I'm still trying to get comfortable with control keys, arrow keys, and Home/End/Del in real-world flows.

What a wild world. I also just got a kinesis keyboard, and pay for keybr.com but i have the freestyle2 the one that is split down the middle. I've made it to X but would really like to get my speed up on the number keys and function keys too. Good luck!

The Kinesis Advantage is a great keyboard. Reduced pain from RSI for me. One thing to be aware of is being able to easily remap keys or set key combos. I rarely use the native Home/End/Del keys after that, because they are more awkward to get my thumb to.

For better or worse I configured mine for an optimized keylayout (RSNTB ,AEIH on the homerow). I’ve got it in muscle memory but wondering how many days it will take to get past this ~30 wpm plateau.
