Cool! I found your solution a while ago while searching for something similar, do you plan to support other locales and/or keyboard layouts in the future?
absoluteunit1 · 4 days ago
Absolutely!

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

Really pretty keyboard widget, though it did slightly confuse me that is showing the next key, not what I actually typed.

Thanks!

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

I liked your onboarding on /welcome, but the plan feels weird for me:

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

- the same for the other plans

Thank!

> 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

Some of these sites - wow. I literally can’t fall asleep right now (reading this in bed) scrolling through all these. So many good resources. Thank you for sharing. This is why I love HN

TypeQuicker (https://typequicker.com) - personalized and engaging typing application.

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

I am suspicious the whole thing is a PR stunt to build public trust.
absoluteunit1 · 14 days ago
I share this sentiment.

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.
