Best webcam for eye tracking?
Edit: the eye tracking software I wanted to use is ITU Gaze Tracker, which says it requires a camera with infrared night vision. I wanted to use it because it integrates natively with Optikey.

From gaming with your eyes to coding with AI: New frontiers for accessibility
For years, she made do with what she had, but her requests for something better never stopped, so Special Effect eventually turned to developer Kirsty McNaught to find a better way. McNaught started to build a fully custom solution, but quickly realized that she could save a lot of time and effort with open source. The OptiKey project offered the base eye gaze tracking functionality she needed, so she forked it to create EyeMine, an open source interface designed specifically to help people with disabilities play Minecraft with their eyes.

Show HN: I made a game to improve my typing speed
It's gotta be fun, and Typing for the Dead is a good one.

More recently though, there's https://monkeytype.com/ and https://play.typeracer.com/ which are fun little breaks during the day.

Been at this for 6 months, need advice
Try a small change and sometimes a drastic one (like dropping a column or row) and mash keybr.com and monkeytype.com until it feels natural, or not then revert. And if I revert I often try again a few weeks later...

It works normal in small projects but when I open for example monkeytype and edit a file it lags so much that sometime it crashes.

Keyboard Shortcut Database Website
I had a really useful website bookmarked in the past, which let you enter a keyboard shortcut and see what programs used that same shortcut. It was really helpful if I needed to create a keyboard shortcut that I knew wouldn't conflict with Windows or any other programs I used. I feel like the site's color scheme was dark gray and yellow/orange, similar to monkeytype.com, but I could be misremembering.

Show HN: I automated 1/2 of my typing
If you are a 2 finger typist and also think people are "obsessing over WPM" because they're wanting to utilize their own tools to the fullest advantage, that sounds like some mental block kind of thing.
If you can type at least 80 consistently then thats probably would I imagine the dividing line is between "flow/concentration not breaking" and "breaks constantly"
