Mouseless – keyboard-driven control of macOS/Linux/Windows
I'm astonished by how far those aim trainer tools go haha, and how popular they are. I discovered Aimlabs[1] recently, which seems like the most popular one, and it has 6 000 people playing right now.
For us keyboard geeks, there is monkeytype: https://monkeytype.com/

I got tired of re-screenshotting my app every time I made a change . So I built a workflow that does it for me.
My app's theme engine (powered by Monkeytype) supports 190 themes. I'm working towards making the website available in all of them, which means every screenshot on every feature page needs a variant per theme. That's 50 screenshots across 13 features. At 190 themes, that's 9,500 screenshots total. And that number grows with every new feature and every new theme added.

A Beginner's Guide to Split Keyboards
I'm in the same boat as OP. I've used keybr and https://monkeytype.com/, and while doing the exercises, I get pretty close to the speed and accuracy I had using a standard keyboard and qwerty, but I get much worse on both fronts when typing in the real world.

How I Grew My Open-Source Japanese Learning Platform to 10k Monthly Users and 640+ GitHub Stars (as a Solo Dev and Student)
When I first started building KanaDojo, I wasn’t planning to build a serious learning platform or anything like that. I just wanted a simple, beautiful, free way to practice and learn the Japanese kana (which is essentially the Japanese alphabet, though it's more accurately described as a syllabary) - something that felt as clean and addictive as Monkeytype, but for language learners.

Typing 118 WPM Broke My Brain in the Right Ways
I really recommend MonkeyType. The UI is great, the stats are clear, and the modes are really elegant.
https://monkeytype.com/
I used it daily like the author for about 6 months to improve from 80wpm to about 120wpm.

What do you use 's' for in normal mode? vanilla? or something like leap?
I've tried leap et al, but I still come back to sneak, and use that plugin's standard mappings for s and S.

Favourite Vim Easter Eggs?
I don't like many Vim plugins, but I absolutely must have sneak: https://github.com/justinmk/vim-sneak

Using preconfigured distro vs rolling your own config
imo there are even few plugin authors who actually understand this well, and certainly no distro author does. Some of the few examples of good "vim philosophy" plugins are vim-sneak and vim-unimpaired.

By vim motions, do you mean native motions or extended motions with plugins like vim easymotion and vim sneak? Those are the two I've been trying out recently.
