What it does
Most typing games focus on leaderboards and ranking against strangers. Velodrome is different. It's about beating your own record. Your best run replays as a ghost opponent in future races, so you're always racing yourself. Per-key analytics show exactly which characters trip you up, so you can drill your weak spots. Race friends live in real-time multiplayer with Socket.io. Built with React, Node.js, Socket.io, and Canvas. Deployed on Vercel and Render.

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
