Hi Marc, thanks for all the work you've put into this site. It's great!

I've also run into the bug that tinw4mail was reporting. I don't know the exact steps to reproduce it, but it seems to happen if I make a mistake either on the first keystroke or within the first two words. I haven't run into it in a while so I can't remember the exact circumstances.

Whenever I hit this bug, I was unable to continue the race. It would never let me back up enough to get back on track. It appeared that what I was typing got out of synch with what was being tracked so I'd back up to fix my mistake, but it would think I was already all the way at the beginning.

Is it possible to put in an option to see the list of players in lexicographic order? I see some of the same people on geekhack.org discussing the merits of this or that keyboard or switch, and knowing their WPM would be one more data point that would help readers decide how to parse those statements as an aggregate while making their own purchases. Searching for these folks' names in a long nonalpha list is tough.

it's unlikely it's coming from the recent update. My guess is this bug has been here for a long time. If you can find when exactly it happens, tell me and I'll fix it.

I've noticed that sometimes the site just bugs out, as I'll try to start a race, but the highlighting will just go back to the beginning of the text. Is this from you updating the site?
timw4mail 15 years, 2 months ago
Yeah, I like this.

Hey marc, I got to say that the one thing that this site has which I've found at no other place is the nice way of keeping track of what errors I have.

With Colemak 99% of my errors are out of order keys. Knowing that really helps me.

I just released a new version. Now there's a chart keeping track of your errors.

Hi Marc! Update on the problem:

I can use the game when not logged on, but not if I'm logged on! Then, clicking on the Start button only makes the text frame flash but nothing else happens.
