What is Keybr?
Keybr is a website for learning touch typing and getting faster. It starts you on a small set of the most common letters and only adds new ones once you reach your target speed, so you build accuracy before speed.
Behind the scenes it tracks every keystroke, works out which keys slow you down, and generates practice text that focuses on them. A profile page shows graphs of your progress and predicts how many lessons you need to reach your goal. There is also a typing test, multiplayer races and high scores. The project is open source, and a paid premium account removes ads and trackers.
