A speed typing web application built with Rust and WebAssembly for learning and performance.
Crabtyper is a speed typing web application built with Rust and WebAssembly that allows users to practice typing code snippets while tracking their speed and accuracy. It provides a responsive, Vim-inspired interface with modal controls and real-time performance metrics. The project serves as a learning tool for Rust and WebAssembly development while offering a fast, interactive typing experience.
Developers and typing enthusiasts interested in improving their coding speed, Rust learners exploring WebAssembly, and users who prefer Vim-like keyboard-driven interfaces.
Crabtyper offers near-native performance through Rust and WebAssembly, a unique Vim-modal typing experience, and a focus on learning modern web technologies. It's an open-source alternative to commercial typing platforms with a transparent development roadmap.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Leverages Rust and WebAssembly for near-native execution speed and efficient resource usage, as emphasized in the project's focus on learning modern web technologies.
Offers unique NORMAL and INSERT modes with keyboard shortcuts like 'i' for insertion and 'n' for next snippet, enhancing productivity for Vim-savvy users.
Tracks typing speed and accuracy live as users type code snippets, providing immediate feedback for improvement during practice sessions.
Includes a smooth, animated caret for better user experience, as shown in the demo GIF and marked as implemented in the roadmap.
Despite being Rust-based, it still requires JavaScript for DOM manipulation, limiting the pure WebAssembly benefits and adding complexity.
Key user-facing features like GitHub authentication, saved results, and customizable settings are planned but not yet implemented, reducing out-of-the-box functionality.
Vim-like modal controls can be unintuitive for users unfamiliar with Vim, potentially hindering accessibility for broader audiences.
