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.
