Warm Up - VS Code extension
A VS Code extension by Jeusto to practice and improve your typing speed right inside your code editor.
Published August 1, 2021
Out of 150,000 readers, only 54 support this blog. Will you join Chase M., Christian Mladenov, and BeaverKeys?
We've already seen similar project, more elaborated ones, but in case you don't want to leave your IDE, you can try this one too.
Here's the download link: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Jeusto.warm-up-typing-test
Nothing too crazy since it's based on typings website but I thought I would make an extension because I didn't find any that already existed – Jeusto.
Adding a mode to also practice writing code in different languages, similar to what you can do on speedcoder, is on the way.
