Whether you're a beginner learning your first language or an experienced coder aiming to stay sharp, Thoth is here to help. If you’re like me, you spend hours coding every day, and typing quickly and accurately makes a huge difference.

Thoth uses real code snippets and makes typing practice feel just like real coding. Practice with real code from 9+ languages like JS, Python, Java, Go, TypeScript, and more. Compete globally with daily challenges and see where you rank on the leaderboards.

Today marks ten years, 3653 consecutive days, of running at least one mile every day under the USRSA rules [1]. To celebrate, I built an interactive dashboard that turns a decade of GPX files into charts you can explore. Running has truly changed my life: I've made lifelong friends, explored beautiful places, and more importantly invested into my own health and fitness, which I'm starting to see the positive benefits as I get older. The stack is pretty simple: a NextJS app, with a Postgres database to keep all my running data, and all the stats are pre-computed and cached in Redis, so I…

Made this website as an exercise in vibe-coding and GCP. It was posted about a few times around the internet, on sites like Morning Brew (https://www.morningbrew.com/issues/business-buzzkill), MetaFilter (https://www.metafilter.com/209703/Draw-A-Fish), boingboing.net, etc. I think it's cute!
