Because

The original typing resources do not have a setting to practice characters which commonly show up when coding such as `[]{}() etc. Keybr has a setting to practice keys associated with source code from a variety of languages from HTML to JavaScript to Python.

This PR

  • Added the sentence "Keybr even has a "Source Code" setting specifically designed to help you practice commonly used programming keys!" to the "Typing Resources" section.

Issue

Closes #XXXXX

This is getting quite cluttered 😅. If you had to replace one of the existing links with Keybr which would it be @Lanerbop?

Typing.com is a solid resource, and Monkeytype is beloved by the typing community due to its customization features. Typingclub.com, on the other hand, seems more geared toward small children, so I would suggest replacing that one with Keybr!

Done!

@KevinMulhern KevinMulhern self-assigned this Dec 19, 2024
Replaced typing resource typingclub.com with Keybr because Keybr
contains a customization setting to practice keys commonly associated
with programming.
