LiveTyper, a simple typing speed tester

Phoenix/LiveView using Presence to show the other players online. My 2nd thing in a vague quest to make 12 things in 12 months.

LiveTyper, a simple typing speed tester launched on December 29, 2022 with 28 votes, #1,085 of 3,688 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches.

In plain words

LiveTyper is a typing speed tester built with Phoenix and LiveView that displays other players currently online using Presence. The tool is designed for anyone wanting to test and measure their typing speed, potentially while seeing how they compare to others in real-time. It represents the maker's second project in an effort to build twelve different things over twelve months.

    A long, meandering, playful conversation with ChatGPT, where I take it through a whirlwind of associative tangents (in order to relax its constraints), then put it into a hypnotic trance and take it into a past-lives regression where it re-lives its own training data. Then I switch it back and forth between "4o" and "o1-preview", engage in some self-reflective philosophizing and ask it to write an essay summarizing our interaction. Some of this is just goofy fun.
