6 years ago How will you make this work?
Will it be completely offline? The paragraphs could be saved in a DB and the users can enjoy this offline practice mode
Online: Does typeracer have an API that we can use?
I would recommend you to go with both online (competitions) and offline (practice) modes.
I am also willing to develop it with you it sounds cool and I love cli tools.

6 years ago Offline would be easy to implement than online one. Database is not a problem, main issue is the implementation. As far as I am thinking this is what we should do for offline mode.
1.) User installs the tool and use out command for offline mode. 2.) We will generate random paragraphs for user to practice.
Now the tricky part is
1.) How to get keystrokes from user. Cause terminal has no input field. For web app its easy to get keystrokes of user.
If the above issue is solved then the offline implementation can be made.
cc @palash25 what's your thought?

6 years ago Since the MVP has been coded and implemented by @knrt10 we can close this now.
I am going to work on 1st project for p-society a CLI tool for http://play.typeracer.com/ . I am open to any suggestion. Implementation for local support won't be anything new cause online site is already there. So please suggest any idea how would you like to see it work in command line.
