Show HN: TypeQuicker – The AI Typing Application

I built this app initially for myself to learn to type properly because most typing apps didn't offer exactly what I was looking for: interesting short-form text content, visual hand guides, detailed stats, etc.

Typing random words on platforms like keybr and monkey type didn't appeal to me - I would get bored fairly quickly and this limited my practice time

Hence, TypeQuicker was born.

My speed went from averaging 30-40WPM to 80-120WPM using this app

How it differs from other existing apps: it uses engaging content (trivia, quotes, jokes, book snippets) instead of random words. The AI analyzes your typing patterns and generates exercises targeting your specific weak character sequences. It offers very detailed stats after each text - measuring time between every keystroke

Features include:

- visual hand and keyboard guides for beginners

- detailed analytics

- daily typing tests with a global leader-board

- custom racing rooms

- 40+ themes (some community favourites like Gruvbox, Tokyo Night and Dracula)

- multiple text topics to choose from

- custom text: input whatever you want to type

- drills mode: practice typing common character sequences

- (Paid) AI personalization: see https://www.typequicker.com/pricing for more info on these features.

Built with Go/Redis/Postgres backend and NextJS frontend.

Still adding many more features - this is still very much an MVP so I would love feedback from the community.

I'm hoping to make this a one-stop shop for everything typing related.
