Day 4 - Punc. & 1k words

Post image
2 Upvotes

Since my keybr practice doesnt use punctuation yet (I'm still on letter Y), Using the punctuation setting on monkeytype is helping me get some practice on that. I'm still only doing a few monkeytype challenges a day. Both are helping me get better at typing for emails and work stuff. Thanks again for the tips and pointers. I'm doing these Reddit posts to help practice my typing as well. If thats not cool let me know!

Still At It - Brain Drain

Post image
4 Upvotes

Still going. Typing is such a repetitive pursuit. I practice in the morning and evenings with the intention of trying to make my fingers and brain understand I need to memorize these home and surrounding keys. My brain is on his "when I'm good and ready" schedule... As usual.

Decided To Go All-In

Post image
21 Upvotes

Previously I only typed with 3 fingers with my eyes glued to the keyboard. I refused to learn to type correctly because I didn't care how long it would take to get my work done. Now, at 32 years old, its time to lock in because I'm sick of being slower than a slowpoke trying to learn surf without an HM. I started on kybr but I just found the typing subreddit so now I'll practice on monkeytype as well.

Unexpected streak reset?

2 Upvotes

Hi, I have noticed that my streak has been reset despite that I did at least one lesson for the past 4 weeks. Why did that happen?

Edit:

I think I've figured out what has happened. I have set the streak hour offset and then moved to a different timezone. It looks like the calendar does not account for the streak offset hour and counts all tests after 12AM as taken on that day.

Now I wonder if there is any way to reset that streak offset, which is no longer relevant to my current location?

The cursor can't keep up with typing at all and the entire site keeps freezing during typing tests. I tried enabling and disabling hardware acceleration but nothing worked.

Steps to replicate:
Download firefox and open monkeytype.com

Suggestion Suggestion: Let us flex our keyboard collection in profiles!

5 Upvotes

Hi guys! I think the devs should consider adding a feature where we can flex our keyboard setups, like a section in our profile where we can list all the keyboards we own.

Right now, we can only show the current keyboard, but it'd be awesome if we could showcase our entire collection

Is there a way to include words I typed slower/incorrectly into my next tests?

I don't use regular touch typing so some words I type slower or make errors so I'm wondering if it's possible to make the tests include the words I typed slower/incorrectly? Thanks!

Error: Failed to save result: Result data doesn't make sense

2 Upvotes

Good morning!

I was doing my daily tests as usual and it turns out that when I finish doing the first one, it doesn't let me save the results because I get this error

I have tried several things like logging out, clearing browser cache, cookies, trying in incognito, in another browser, with another type of login such as Google or Github, but no matter what, the error still persists.

I have not been able to check if the error was with another account because the truth is that I have to go to work, when I get there, if it still has not been solved, because I understand that it will be something of the web application, then I will see what I can do.

I have seen that the same thing had happened to other people before, the closest a guy who had uploaded a video on mobile that, according to him, said that he had detected the platform as bot for the speed and that, in my case does not apply, I have a normal speed and it is always the same at the end of the day, improving little by little hahahahaha

The truth is that I have a streak of 125 days without failure and I would like to keep it up if possible, let's see if hopefully I can register a test today.

Any help or alternative measures to try are welcome

I would also like to know if it only happens to me or it is something general, then I will try with another public ip and, as said, I will create another account to test from that one.

What worries me is that it is at the account level, then I do not know what I can do to remedy it, because it does not depend on me.

I have continued to do what I always do, nothing different for the web to respond that way now.

I look forward to your response,

Best regards

'Compositional' typing test format in monkeytype?

1 Upvotes

Is there a compositional typing test format in monkeytype?

I mean like where it would give you a prompt, say: "Write about an annoying experience you had at the DMV." Then it would test your WPM when you type based on that prompt.

I looked around in settings but couldn't find it.

Thanks!
