Post Description

I’ve been trying to get faster at typing, but honestly most of the sites out there are packed with ads and feel super outdated, so far from a great experience.

So I figured I’d just build my own, a clean version of Type Racer, one that is fun to use, and completely ad-free for anyone who wants to enjoy it.

Would love to hear your feedback and iterate on it.
