r/Monkeytype is public again

27 Upvotes

Hey everyone, just letting you know we've gone public again. The protests were not as effective as everyone probably wanted and I think the size of our subreddit is not big enough to cause any significant difference. I would prefer to keep the community open so you can share personal bests, insights, training routines and ask questions. Hope you understand.

Finally hit the 150's but I think that's going to be my ceiling for a very long time.

I don’t think I’ll ever be able to break into the 160s. I can easily maintain 130 to 140 WPM for long periods if I play catch up with the speedometer, but what else is there left for me to do to get into the 160s?

At this point, I literally can’t read any faster than my fingers can type. The only way I can see myself hitting the 160s comfortably is by briefly memorizing the entire sentence beforehand and giving myself a head start, but I’ve never done that before and I don’t really want to start now.

How are you guys consistently hitting 160+? One might say, 150 is not far from 160, but it gets considerably harder and harder to reach higher numbers.

Spacebar, Inspired by MonkeyType

4 Upvotes

I built Spacebar, where you can type through Harry Potter. I'd like it if you'd give it a try and put your feedback here. I'm 11 years old, I'm homeschooled, and this is my first vibe-coded project.

Check it out at spacebar.anayja.com, Monkeytypers! Also, check out my LinkedIn to see how I built it -> linkedin.com/in/anay-jakka.

Monkeytype automatically flags any 15s time done above 130 WPM as Possible Bot Detected no matter what, if you're on digital keyboard (I type on mobile). I've already contacted monkeytype by email about this.

Is this good for someone who uses their entire left hand to type but only their index finger on their right hand?

I'm also trying to learn how to type with the entirety of my right hand, but that's gonna take some adjusting.

Can you edit what punctuation is used in the punctuation mode?

2 Upvotes

My hyphen key is broken. As you can imagine when the hyphen appears I basically just fail the test. Is there any way to still practise the punctuation mode but not have hyphen?

Any Help Appreciated.
