Typing Practice for Hackers
Traditional typing apps aren’t built for coding. They miss key features that coders need: 1) Syntax highlighting to replicate real coding environments. 2) Practice with tricky symbols like {, }, ;, and |. 3) Real-world coding snippets to make typing practice meaningful. So I built typinghackers in 8 days with go (pocketbase), react (yes, shadcn xd) and sqlite. Rsync to the vps and let it go.

TypeQuicker – Type natural text that targets your weak points2025 · typequicker.com · ▲7I built this app initially for myself to learn to type properly because most typing apps didn't offer exactly what I was looking for: interesting short-form text content, visual hand guides, detailed stats, etc. Typing random words on platforms like keybr and monkey type didn't appeal to me - I would get bored fairly quickly and this limited my practice time Hence, TypeQuicker was born. My speed went from averaging 30-40WPM to 80-120WPM using this app How it differs from other existing apps: it uses engaging content (trivia, quotes, jokes, book snippets) instead of random words. The AI…

Talanoa▲345Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

- TITetris in a PDF▲1,289
I realized that the PDF engines of modern desktop browsers (PDFium and PDF.js) support JavaScript with enough I/O primitives to make a basic game like Tetris. It was a bit tricky to find a union of features that work in both engines, but in the end it turns out that showing/hiding annotation "fields" works well to make monochrome pixels, and keyboard input can be achieved by typing in a text input box. All in all it's quite janky but a nice reminder of how general purpose PDF scripting can be. The linked PDF is all ASCII so you can just open it in a text editor, or have a look at…

21st.dev▲1,211I originally built this app to organize and reuse interesting React + Tailwind components I came across on Twitter, inspired by the shadcn/ui approach. Later, a friend started contributing their own components, and it got me thinking—this could grow into something bigger, like an NPM for design engineers to share and use components. Would love to hear your thoughts!
