• After more than 20 years, I published my first dirty project

  I also use it for its Popular Bookmarks - I subscribed to its RSS feed in NewsBlur and always have something interesting to read when my other feeds are Empty (they rarely are). - Source: dev.to / 9 months ago

• Killed by Google

  There's a bunch of replacements. I like https://newsblur.com but there are 4-6 large-ish similar sites. That said, partially what people miss is the relative cultural hegemony of Google Reader. It was RSS front-and-center, prominently featured on websites, supported by the biggest company in tech, with all the users there and able to take advantage of the (sparse) social features. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Ask HN: Alternatives to Reddit

  Https://newsblur.com/ I think this might be pretty close to what you're looking for. It's an RSS feed reader with a platform for discussions. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• With Reddit sunsetting, I'm looking back to RSS. What are the best current tools?

  Currently I'm on Newsblur. But it's really convoluted to Self host - to my "shame" I use their cloud hosted app with premium. It's (over)laden with features that I actually use and cheaper than for example Feedly. Source: about 1 year ago

• Ask HN: What other news feeds do you read besides Hacker News?

  I start every day with RSS subscriptions using NewsBlur (https://newsblur.com) and Reeder (https://reederapp.com). I've also set up a page so other people can see my subscriptions / what I'm reading: https://sources.werd.io. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• What websites are best for getting better at typing?

  There are sites that will let you "race" directly against one or more other people whilst typing quotes or random words like play.typeracer.com nitrotype.com or keymash.io. Source: about 1 year ago

• Working on my speed by just practicing consistently. Any tips to improve more?

  IMO, Monkeytype is the best website for practicing your typing speed unlike other websites such as typeracer.com, nitrotype.com, typingtest.com, etc.... Which are solely used for improving typing accuracy. Also, 10 words mode was born out of Monkeytype, and I guess what Mythical Rocket just did typing at around 400 wpm on 10 words is very satisfying and motivating. Don't get me wrong, kool-keys, but inspiration... Source: about 1 year ago

• Would I be able to get faster at typing? Mid 20s

  You can absolutely improve. I'm no speed demon the keyboard, but with consistent practice on first on teaching sites like typingclub.com and then on fun sites like typeracer.com or nitrotype.com I can average 80-90 wpm consistently. Source: over 1 year ago

• Why

  Monkeytype is the most visited and has the most traffic typing website (with over 130+ thousand unique users daily) compared to 10fastfingers.com, typeracer.com, typrx.com, nitrotype.com, keybr.com, keyhero.com, etc...., and that's according to https://www.siteworthtraffic.com/report/monkeytype.com. Personally, Monkeytype is really addicting because of its user-friendly layouts (you can choose your own theme and... Source: over 1 year ago

• Gamification recommendation

  If its typing, nitrotype.com works very well. However, for other things, you can also do (just heard about these recently) Kahoots, quizzizzes, blookets, “Escape Rooms”, and so much more. All of these to my knowledge don’t really require much work from teachers other than feeding the answers into the program. Source: over 1 year ago
