Ask HN: Show me your half baked project
- Typocide - https://github.com/rdavison/typocide
Typocide is a CLI based typing tutor. It solves a few problems which other typing tutors failed to provide for me. In particular it uses real world text instead of fake text such as keybr. The corpus is derived from all the quotes available on Typeracer.
Next, it draws inspiration from leveltype (https://github.com/christoofar/leveltype) which bans the use of the backspace key. If you make a typo, Typocide will create a practice test where the typo'd word is the focus. It will then build a test which includes not only the surrounding words for the current test (previous and next word), but also the surrounding words from previous tests where you have typo'd the word.
The idea is that when you make a typo, the word was a part of some context, and rather than simply practicing the word, you want to practice the word in context. A lot of typos, particularly in speedtyping happen at word boundaries. Furthermore, by having it operate on context, it also reinforces common idioms. For example, the word "example" is very likely to be preceded by the word "for" and very unlikely to be preceded by a word like "kaleidoscope". So it makes sense to practice "For example," as a unit.
Furthermore, it has some rudimentary support for identifying words which you have typed more slowly than usual. Typocide will also generate practice tests from these slow words.
Sometimes the tests are not perfect, so I have added a simple escape hatch: if you press TAB on a new test, it will skip the test, and if you press TAB after you have started typing a test, it will repeat the test from the beginning.
This project is half baked for two reasons:
