Typing race for programmers
A typing race where everyone types the same real code — brackets, operators and indentation included — and each racer has a lane that moves as they type.
Open Typre and start a raceHow it works
- Pick a language and a run length — 15, 30 or 60 seconds.
- Press race a friend. A room is made from the snippet already on your screen, and the link is copied to your clipboard.
- Send that link to whoever you want to race. Opening it drops them into the same snippet with the same timer.
- Start typing. Each racer gets a lane that fills in as they go, so you can see who is ahead while you type.
No account, no setup
Nobody has to sign up. Anyone who opens the link races under a temporary name, and the room disappears when everyone closes the tab. Signing in only matters if you want scores kept on the leaderboard.
Why race on code instead of prose
Prose races reward familiar words. Code races reward the thing that actually slows programmers down: reaching for {, => and :: without looking, and keeping accuracy while you do it.
