TypeStep — Touch Typing Trainer
Learn touch typing through real words, not endless drills
What it does
Most typing trainers start you with endless repetition, fff jjj over and over. TypeStep uses a frequency-based method: you type real words from the most common letters, so you practice what you'll actually use from day one. The course has clear stages: lowercase, capitals, numbers, punctuation. Each letter unlocks when your average speed reaches the target over several lessons, not just once. This prevents skipping ahead and makes learning stick.

Hey HN! I'm from Brazil and I created Term Typer to help my little brother learn other languages while practicing his keyboard typing skills. We've found it super helpful and fun. Feel free to try it out and let me know your thoughts and feedback. Thanks a lot!

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
