Building https://www.typequicker.com Long-term, passion project of mine - I'm hoping to make this the best typing platform. Just launched the MVP last month. The core idea of the app is focusing on using natural text. I don't think typing random words (like what some other apps do) is the most effective way to improve typing. We offer many text topics to type (trivia, literature, etc) where you type text snippets. We…

What an incredibly interesting use of LLMs (generating text to practice typing). It leans in on what LLMs are good at. That said. I would love to see a middle tier pricing which had some features but avoided the AI use.

One unique feature is AI-powered marking, which gives instant feedback on written answers. I’ve also added gamification—points, levels, and a storyline—to keep students motivated. Right now, the app is based on the Singapore syllabus, since I’m based in Singapore.

Sounds very cool! Also interested in how to follow progress. Is it using ESPHome?

Suckless text editor written in Zig: https://github.com/ivanjermakov/hat

The goal is to have a full featured editor with tree-sitter and LSP support which source code you can read through in one evening.

Love how it's going so far, I'm trying to keep it both minimal and easily extendable.
