Sweet
Sweet is a Software Engineering Exercise for Typing. In other words, it’s a touch typing exercise command line interface specifically designed for programmers.
Motivation
For a while I found it difficult to type characters that are often found in code, including brackets, parentheses, and special characters. I needed to improve my typing speed to make my development experience less painful.
I used to use typing web applications including SpeedTyper.dev and SpeedCoder. However, I wanted to create a solution that didn’t require opening a web page.
Additionally, I hadn’t used the Go language before, so I figured this was a fun opportunity to try it out!
Goals
This software is successful if the following are done:
- My typing speed increases and I become more comfortable typing code
- I can practice writing code faster than opening a web browser to type code
