I made a typing challenge platform for developers - looking for honest feedback
Hey everyone,
I built a small side project 👉 https://www.keysprint.in/ to explore something I’ve always felt was missing.
Most typing tools focus on generic paragraphs, but as developers, we spend most of our time typing code - symbols, patterns, indentation, etc. I wanted to see if a more dev-focused typing experience would actually be useful.
So I made Keysprint, with a few things I personally wanted:
- 💻 Code snippet typing mode (instead of just plain text)
- 🌍 Daily challenge where everyone gets the same test
- 🎯 Custom challenges you can create and share with friends/teams
- 📊 Detailed analytics (like longest hesitation between keystrokes, not just WPM)
- 🏆 Leaderboards (daily / weekly / all-time)
The goal wasn’t just speed, but actually identifying where you slow down while typing.
Would really appreciate honest feedback from this community:
- Does typing code snippets feel useful or unnecessary?
- Anything confusing or annoying in the experience?
- Is this something you’d actually use, or just try once and forget?
No fluff - feel free to be blunt. Trying to figure out if this is worth pushing further or not.
Thanks 🙌
