Readit Newscute but should go much harder/further
That’s what I’m kind of looking for. Something that shows more advanced features.
I feel like most of these tutorial like apps just scratch the surface and are more beginner focused.
I'm surprised they don't even mention vimtutor. It's preinstalled on every machine with vim (to the best of my knowledge). This seems like a cool project, but might as well give a shout-out to the original concept.
I actually opened this hoping it’ an alternative to vimtutor but for experienced/intermediate users.
Is there such a thing? I feel like someone has probably made something this - something that progressively works through soem of the more complex features of vim.
I’ve found soem absolute gems mostly through online blogs and reading through vim docs
If anyone has any repos that’d recommended I’d be happy to try!

that's a cool site. you will see me more frequently btw do some tech twitter promos.
Thank you - appreciate it! :)
> btw do some tech twitter promos.
Yes - I have plans to do. Still relatively new to the marketing, SEO, etc world. Recently quit my job to build products (TypeQuicker is the first in line) and up until now I've only ever done software dev work.
How would you suggest to do twitter promos - just post consistently about the app features and such?

Nice idea for podcast - good luck!

Wow - that’s a pretty impressive accomplishment. I’ve been meaning to move some workers I have to a pub/sub on https://www.typequicker.com.
I might try using this in prod. I don’t really need the insane performance benefits as I don’t have my traffic lol - but I always like experimenting with new open source libraries - especially while the site isn’t very large yet

I was talking with a friend who is a camp counselor for a small summer camp the other day and they said that 4 of the 35 or so kids at the camp left because they couldn’t be away from their devices.
This power intermittent reinforcement in the on-ramp of addiction is scary powerful.
Do we have any ways to innoculate ourselves and the future generations against it?
The author poses changing the game which is support. I guess the trendy “dopamine fast” is a tool against this or weekly screen free time. Maybe more education on intermittent reinforcement or a D.A.R.E-like program for apps (a this one is a little tongue-in-cheek, but not really).

Wow that’s scary. Such powerful addiction at such a young age
Could you name a few of these startups please?
I’m curious as well.
I’ve been exploring this space for a potential project - curious to see what these startups are doing
I share much of the same ideas about this as the author.
For a long time, to make coding more natural (before and after LLMs) and not having to think about certain keywords or syntax, I would create little Anki decks (10-20 cards) with basic exercises for a particular language or tool I was using. One to two weeks of 5-10 minutes/day of doing these exercises (like, how to redirect both stout and strrr into a file, how to read from a channel in go, etc) and I was working without having to pause.
Writing code became less disruptive and much easier to get my ideas into a text editor.
I’m also the creator of typequicker.com (disclaimer) and we added Code mode as a typing exercise.
At first I thought folks wouldn’t be interested. I was pleasantly surprised though; many people are using it specifically for the same reason that the author is talking about.
