Maddi-Type: TUI Typing Practice

This is a project that I threw together in a day to help myself learn some alternate keyboard layouts.

Installation

maddi-type can be found on crates.io and so can be installed with cargo install maddi-type.

Note that maddi-type uses Rust 2024 so requires a relatively modern Rust compiler to build.

Additionally, a flake.nix file is present in the root of the file if you'd like to use maddi-type in your NixOS or home-manager configurations.

Usage

maddi-type <FILE>.txt is enough to get you started. This will create a <FILE>.progress.json file that will track your progress if you want to leave and return later.

Additional options can be listed with maddi-type help but are currently limited to specifying the progress file position.

Stability

In its current form, the application will crash at very low terminal sizes. This will be resolved in the future. Note that currently a crash will result in your progress not being saved.

License

maddi-type is licensed under the GPLv3. As I am the sole contributor, I'd be happy to relicense the code permissively if you'd like to use it in your own open-source project. If this is the case, please email me to discuss.

maddi-type is compliant with version 3.2 of the REUSE specification.
