typer
A very minimal online typing speed test

Why does this exist

Essentially, I've never liked many typing tests, the few I like are sites like typings.gg (which should be obvious by the design), however it did not have CPM (characters per minute) and only WPM (words), some may argue one is more accurate than the other.

However, I was bored, and was also annoyed about how every time I have to tell somebody what speed I type at it won't work because said person prefers CPM etc. So this solves that problem. Besides that Typer is pretty if I do say so myself.

But I also wanna stress the "I was bored" part of this. I literally made it in like 3½ hours, or at least the v1 of it. And I made it purely just because I was bored. And because I wanted to.

So here it is completely free and open source, and if you want you can enjoy it over on my website: typer.kiru.gay

Keyboard Shortcuts

To make it far easier to use, there's various keyboard shortcuts to quickly navigate typer.

Escape or Ctrl: Generate new text
Enter: If your finished with a test it'll generate new text
Tab: Change the word count

The future of typer

I'm considering adding a time based test, more languages, and maybe themes, however all of those sort of take away from the simplicity of the project.
