NeoType
Tired of needing to go to a website powered by bloated JavaScript just to do a typing test?
Fear no more, for NeoType is here! It runs in your UNIX terminal and is powered by classic ANSI escape codes!
It's currently quite minimal, partially by design, but I am also not sure what I should add. Open an issue (or better yet, a PR) if you have any feature requests!
Installation
$ git clone https://github.com/tteeoo/neotype
$ cd neotype
$ mkdir ~/.local/share/neotype && cp share/words.txt ~/.local/share/neotype
$ go build
# cp neotype /usr/local/bin
Note: The above commands will compile NeoType, but a pre-compiled binary (Linux x86-64) is also provided on the latest GitHub release.
Usage
Just run neotype to start.
Options:
-wordfile <string>: The name of the wordlist file in the data directory (default "words.txt").-words <int>: The number of words to test with (default 20).
NeoType looks for the data directory at the following paths:
$NEOTYPE_DATA
$XDG_DATA_HOME/neotype
$HOME/.local/share/neotype

The glorious Unlicense!
In other words, this software is dedicated to the public domain.
