    I used https://monkeytype.com/ a lot while learning a new keyboard layout and now I continue to use it for speeding up my typing. However it can't deliver an accurate representation of my everyday experience inside Neovim.

  • typeracer.nvim

  • InfluxDB

  • duckytype.nvim

    NeoVim plugin simulating monkeytype.com

    I'd like to add another plugin to the list: ducktype

  • thokr

    ✨ sleek typing tui with visualized results and historical logging

    Not to rip on the idea in any way, but why does everything need to be a neovim plugin? I had an awesome time writing thokr, so I can definitely attest to how much fun writing terminal based typing tests can be, but in my mind it feels kinda awkward. Unless the intent is to learn lua and the neovim api, then by all means, go for it. Just my thoughts!
