Practice typing by retyping ENTIRE novels
This reminds me of the a utility I made early in my career to type over quotes or fortune output with GNU Typist: https://github.com/micimize/type-quotes. IIRC the included json sources were munged from fortune files.
I think about it a lot in comparison to the vast swath of more ambitious or complicated projects I've done. Such a small script I threw together due to an immediate want, that still has merit and potential utility a decade later.
What are some alternatives?
