# **qType**

qType (from _Quick Type_) is a 🚀 _blazingly fast_ 🚀\* terminal-based typing

practice tool, inspired by [keybr] and [monkeytype]. Typing inside the terminal

eliminates the overhead of browsers, providing a smoother, more focused

experience without the disruptions of Web-UI freezes.

Currently, qType is my **Rust-learning project**, but who knows—maybe one day

it will evolve into something much more.

_\* It's not really "blazingly fast", but since it's a Rust project, this

phrase is a must-include as a meme._

## Installation

```sh

cargo install qtype

```

## **Why qType?**

- **Minimalist Interface**: A distraction-free environment tailored for

  terminal enthusiasts.

- **Performance**: Leveraging Rust's speed, qType delivers a seamless

  experience with low resource usage.

- **Focus on Typing**: No browser, no fluff — just pure typing practice.

## **Demo**

## **Features**

- **Minimalistic UI**: qType only has features it's actually need.

- **Multiple Dictionaries**: Dictionaries of 10k words per language (based on

  usage) of several languages are bundled within the app.

  - We'll remove them from the binary later and make it lazy-loadable.

### **Planned**

- **Difficulties**: Using different samples from dictionaries (based on usage),

  allowing to practice on the most common words.

- **Custom Dictionaries**: Support for user-defined dictionaries and additional

  languages.

- **Accurate WPM/CPM Calculation**: Improved metrics for better accuracy and

  insights.

- **Comprehensive Stats**: A dedicated stats screen with SQLite integration for

  tracking progress over time.

- **Prettier UI**: A more intuitive terminal interface.
