Overview
Overview
Typing Test TUI brings the polish of modern web-based typing trainers to the command line. It offers multiple practice modes, rich languages and code corpora, and immediate performance insights.
Built with Cobra for flag parsing and command ergonomics, the app leans on Bubble Tea for stateful TUI interactions and Lip Gloss for theming. Datasets are stored locally as JSON, enabling rapid customization.
The TUI shares the same responsive layout across macOS, Linux, and Windows terminals, making it ideal for daily drills, coding bootcamps, or developer onboarding exercises.
