Show HN: Keyglide – Competitive Online Text Editing

Hey :)

Recently, I’ve been working on my hobby project, keyglide. It’s a small tool that lets you practice editing a "start" file in a real Helix editor (https://helix-editor.com/) until it matches a given "goal" file. Once you complete the exercise, your score - including keystrokes and time taken - is published. Scores are then ranked by the amount of keystrokes.

Although I’ve been using Helix for a few years, I still don’t feel particularly efficient with it. This little game is meant to help me (and hopefully others) compare editing approaches and discover more effective ways to work.

You can easily try it out without signing in.
