Hey thanks for the support! I'll definitely be adding some way of uploading your own stuff in the future, though it may not be ready for a while yet. Thanks again!

Hello -- I've actually been working on this exact feature (well, ctrl+backspace at least) and will be adding it to the site in the next couple days. Thanks!

Hello! I've just changed the way errors are displayed (it'll show what you actually typed in red if it was wrong). Maybe seeing what the site thinks you typed wrong will help us troubleshoot. Btw, Chrome seems to work for a lot of

Hello! Key combos aren't super well supported at the moment. I'll make sure to get it fixed in a future update though. Thanks!

Hello! As a matter of fact, I just changed the way mistypes are handled to be like this. There will be options for less obtrusive cursors coming soon as well, which I hope should fix the need for larger text.

Thanks for your very descriptive answer! At the moment, key combinations aren't nearly as well supported as they ought to be. I'll certainly fix this in a future update. Thanks again!

Hello! WPM is calculated by splitting space characters, and is tracked on a per page bases. If you're cursor is on the first character of a page, it's not tracking your WPM, so that's where you would take a break. Thanks!

Hello! Sorry the site isn't more keyboard friendly (which is indeed ironic). Plus I imagine if you were to get into the typing portion of the site, you may get stuck, since keystrokes register differently in there. I'll see if I c

Hello -- if I come across a good compilation of famous speeches I'll add them. Loading your own content is coming in a future update, too. Thanks!

Hello! A text darkness slider is a great idea -- I may implement that in a future update. You should be able to backspace all the way back up the page. If backspace isn't working for you, feel free to let me know which browser and OS y

Absolutely it will be optional. The intention behind the site is as much to support author's works as it is to practice typing. I originally figured that having it update more often than once a page might be distracting, which explains

Hello -- currently you have to type a whole page. Going to add an option to change it to after each word probably this week. Thanks!

Hello and thanks for your suggestions! - Dynamic metrics is coming very very very soon - Good idea reaching out to publishers -- I might just do that. - People just email me their requests anyway, but it might be a good idea to invite the i

Hello! I'm kind of trying to keep copyrighted text off the servers -- though I am planning on adding a feature where you can add your own text and then immediately type it. Probably more work on the teacher and student's part, but

Hello! The WPM/ACC thing will be updated really soon. As for a leaderboard/social element, it might be worth looking into once I eventually add accounts. Thanks for your suggestions!

Hello! As of now it only updates at the end of the page. I plan on adding options to have it update after every word or line in the very near future. Thanks!

by Octouroboros 6y ago
Hello! That's good idea, and I may add feature at some point. Thanks for the suggestion!

Hey thanks for asking! Since this a website and not a native app, accessing and controlling built in mobile functionality has proven quite difficult. I'll certainly come back to it at some point, and if I can get native keyboards to wo

Hey that's a pretty good idea! I may think of way implement something like that. Thanks for the support!

I'm thrilled you like it! Indeed there will be an About page with donation link added sometime soon. Thanks!

Hey, I'm glad you like it! While it's less work for me to just leave them in, I do see where you're coming from. Maybe a way to toggle them on or off could come in a future update. Thanks for the suggestion!

Haha I barely know how to keep up with the number of features people are demanding as is!

Hello! There are a few French novels on the site already -- just use the language select above where the books are displayed to show them. As far as as using your own material, I'm planning on adding a feature like that sometime in the

Hey thanks -- this will be super useful!

Hey I'm glad you asked! It's the way Nextjs handles urls with more than 1 param. If I prettify the URL then for some reason the page can't access them. Don't know if they've improved on it yet (or, who knows, maybe

Hello! The site only saves after each page. Saving in the middle of a page is planned for a future update.

Hello -- I'm glad the idea resonates with you! The site actually already supports German and other languages (though with a more limited selection). You'll find a language dropdown just above where the books are displayed. Thanks!

by Octouroboros 6y ago
Hello! I feel the same way -- Ctrl+backspace support is planned for a future update. Thanks!

Hey thanks! I would, but I don't imagine many tech books are in the public domain.

Hello! If you don't mind me asking, what browser are you experiencing this issue on?
