Monkeytype is an open-source[2] single-player browser-based typing website. It was launched in May 2020.[3]
History
In an interview, Jack Midec, the creator of Monkeytype, explained that another typing website, typings.gg, inspired him to create his own typing site. This project was called MMTT (midec's minimalistic typing test). This project was later abandoned.[4]
Nine months later, Midec reattempted this idea, and created another typing test, which he posted on Reddit. The post gained some popularity, and Midec continued to improve his test. Monkeytype was officially released on May 15, 2020.[4]
Usage
The website generates random words for the user to type. The website shows the user's words per minute (WPM), and their accuracy. The website also has a minimalist design.[5] The user can also choose between different modes, create an account, and adjust built-in features.[3][6] The user can export typing results in the CSV format.[7]
