Sakura-sx created Typr, a terminal-based typing test, inspired by Keybr, due to frustrations with Keybr's typing approach (practicing one word at a time and forced consistent character speeds). Typr utilizes a different algorithm for word selection, prioritizing random words weighted by typing speed, accuracy per letter, and letter frequency in the English language. This approach encourages faster typing of common letters. A commenter suggests adding features to separate the source and typed text visually or to hide the currently typed text for an added challenge. The post also includes a reminder to apply for YC's Fall 2025 batch, with applications open until August 4th.
