No More Lazy Dogs: There's A New Way To Learn To Type
- 4 years ago
In the olden days, high schoolers were taught to type by copying sentences like 'the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.'
Now, Gizmodo reports there's a new app that teaches typing by asking you to copy great literature.
Adam Doquiatan's site, called TypeLit.io, lets you pick from a library of public domain classics.
It then shows you the text of each chapter. Doquiatan explains he's merely shared the method he used to learn to type.
Perhaps trying to recapture some lost cool, hipsters are picking up on the craze, retyping classics in smoky diners.
The site saw about 600 users per day before public interest drove it to 19,000 per day.
The founders are just me—a Canadian web developer who’s relatively new to the scene. Adam Doquiatan Founder, TypeLit.io
