I'm a pretty decent touch-typist, but I have some hiccups when using the symbols on the number bar (@#$%^ etc), or brackets, or other stuff that's common when programming but uncommon in most texts used by touch-typing programs.

So I wrote a little program to download source code from Github and allow you to type along with it, and measure the number of typos. It's super old, half-finished and was one of the projects I used to learn Python, so the code is hot garbage and unmaintained, but it might be an interesting thing to look at and use if anyone wants to practice touch-typing on source code:

Hell, if anyone's interested in using it, maybe I'll pick it back up and improve it.
