The Typer reviewed

I got a nice easter present yesterday: The Typer  got reviewed on the Rails App Week by Darren at The Web2.0 Show

They nailed it right:  it’s simple by purpose, and i’d dare to say that it has been a big experiment for me in building a clean and simple interface that makes sense for the application.

Posts about thetyper have been very few in the last months, but this is not because the application itself was abandoned, but rather because the typer achieved its goals, and was good enough for my own use.

Some of the techniques i learned while developing it have been useful for me and will spark in various projects that I’m doing as a freelance. Moreover I’m planning some improvements to the interface which will go towards further reducing modality of the interface and improving keyboard commands.

I hope that more people will use it and find it useful, and I’ll be listening to their suggestions to improve it (if you wish you can contact me at luca (at) thetyper.com ).
