>> It will force you to type faster than you are able

The text is appearing really slowly for me. Is there something that I'm missing? I have to keep waiting for it to catch up to me.

EDIT: I was using Firefox. In Chrome, it's completely different.

View on HN

It only seems to work correctly in Chrome.

It was randomly delayed for me as well (granted I'm using Chromium v20...). That (and the otherwise mentioned skipping to the next word erratically... and the not explaining visually how errors are handled) made it nearly useless to me. I would not be inclined to prefer it over, say Type-racer, except as a curio in the show-HN area.

Thanks for pointing out the Chrome vs. FF. I'll take a look.

Reporting the same. Chrome and Safari are fine, FF lags significantly.

Updated the FF about 30min ago; try again now :)

The number at the bottom isn't updating at all (stuck at 0). Edit: refreshing twice brought it back– odd. I have to say though, it's quite a bit of fun. I'm not slow and I can already feel the push, I'm really glad you showed this :)
