Mastering React useRef: Advanced Techniques and Practical Demo

I noticed a significant interest among individuals in testing their typing speed. Consequently, I embarked on a side project that took me a few days to complete, drawing inspiration from monkeytype.com, a web-based application for typing speed tests

Overview

Although cloning can be effective, enhancing an existing project with innovative features is a more rewarding approach for skill improvement. Introducing 'kindaTyping' (credit to my younger brother for the name), this application draws inspiration from 'monkeytype.com' while incorporating unique enhancements and subtle deviations.

Technologies Used

I used Reactjs for this project with tailwindCSS for the styling.

What is new ?

In our version, users have to type each word correctly before moving on to the next. This technique helps users practice difficult words effectively.

What still need to be done

The project is still in its beta, if you are interested in contributing to the repo just DM me on twitter
