This is about _keyboard_ typing, not programming language types.

Is there a hosted demo ?

nice, man! I think I can reach 156WPM, just gotta get in that focused mindset haha

Dangerously fast

Click on the leaderboard and prepare to be dismayed. 255 WPM @ 99% accuracy doesn't seem real. A cursory YouTube search shows the best typers maxing out around 210...

Very nice! I got 141 on another test I did as well, but I didn't take a pic, so it didn't happen. Another day, another day haha.

Very popular in the mechanical keyboard community

There is no demo or instructions on how to run it, and nothing linked that I could find.

I tried to use it locally after cloning the repo and gave up after spending some time trying to figure out how to start it as a node app. `npm start` didn't work. Just serving the contents of the `public` directory doesn't work either. This might be obvious to someone familiar with Node apps, but of course not everyone works on front-end web development.

It would really help if the developers added a couple of lines to their README explaining how to run this software.
