So is typequicker - you only pay if you want the personalized, LLM powered features. Everything else is free - not to mention ad-free!

This is something that I constantly struggle with and my co founder and I discuss a lot.

I’m always very tempted to just build everything.

Example: We need a URL shortener - let me just put a basic one together over the weekend.

I’m always tempted to build vs buy.

My cofounder says sometimes that being an engineer founder can be bad for this reason - just because you can build something, doesn’t mean you should.

Oh this is actually a good idea!

I’m a heavy Anki user but haven’t considered doing Anki while waiting on LLM responses.

(Made it to make studying Anki cards and adding cards more convenient and more keyboard friendly)

Raycast is a desktop AI agent?

I see that your extension supports specific Anki note types. I really heavily on custom note types. Is there an interface to add support for custom note types? Does it run on Linux?

> Raycast is a desktop AI agent

No - it is a MacOS launcher app. This Spotlight but with quite a few more features and very extensible (especially if you code) and has a large open source extension community (mine is just one of many)

> does it run on Linux?

Sadly no, only Mac for now but I think they’re expanding to Windows and Linux on future.

> custom note types

Not really sadly :/

I want to add many improvements including this but I don’t have capacity right now - hands full with another project

Thank you, Mac launchers are always interesting. That seems to be a big field.

As soon as I find a good desktop AI agent for Linux, I think I'll take a shot a writing an Anki MCP server.

Building https://typequicker.com

Hoping to make the best typing application.

Key features:

- absolutely no ads; this an education tool

- SmartPractice: we use a time series db to track weakpoints (bigrams, individual characters, etc. their time to type and errors) and then select the most relevant ones to generate typing practice text

- advanced stats; after each session we provide the most detailed stats than any typing platform

This a passion project that turned to a business.

Hope you try it :)

I’m building TypeQuicker: https://www.typequicker.com

Typing is an extremely underrated skill and especially in the age of LLMs, it is the bottle neck in a lot of cases.

I’ve never been fond of existing typing apps; excessive ads, typing random words, etc so I built my own.

You can practice typing code, use your own text, etc

We have a paid plan for features where you can type natural text that targets your weak points (via SmartPractice) and many others. Other than that, it’s both free to use (and ad-free)

nice!

i open and close parens, brackets and curlies at the same time.

is there a mode/setting to capture this intent?

Hi - thanks for checking it out!:)

Sorry, I’m not sure I follow - do you mean you type: () and then type within them?

exactly.

AFAIK a lot of programmers do this before their editor would auto close them and so its now muscle memory to

(+)+Ctrl+B or (+)+ ←

to finish a statement

That’s great! Going to give it to my kids to try.

Thanks! Any feedback is welcome :)

There’s also this:

Collection of open graph image examples.

That’s a good point - but I suspect that many people who don’t use StackOverflow still participate in the survey. It’s quite popular

Hey it looks awesome!

Just a friendly heads up, I’m on mobile and I noticed that the burger menu doesn’t work.

(iPhone 13)

Otherwise - awesome work

Well… that was new. Fixed now!

Thanks for the report and thanks for the kind words :)

I didn’t like the UX either but love everything else about it.

I put together and built a Raycast extension for Anki for this reason: https://www.raycast.com/anton-suprun/anki

Using Raycast keyboard friendly UI makes Anki a lot more fun and friction-less.

If you use a Mac - give it a go.

Apologies if some features are missing - I’ve been procrastinating on patching it with some requested features

Yeah, sorry, I don't like yours either :)

No problem :)

Side note: if anyone else is reading this and likes it - contributors are welcome.

There’s a lot of improvements to be made and I could use the help as I’m quite busy with a few other projects at the moment
