This project is a fast, sleek, and visually electrifying typing web app built to make the simple act of typing feel like a full-on experience. It’s powered by Astro, SCSS, Vanilla JavaScript, and GSAP, blending the precision of clean, semantic code with the energy of motion design. Everything about it is meant to feel alive. From the moment the page loads, transitions glide smoothly like scenes in a film, and every key press reacts instantly with snappy, animated feedback. It’s not just about testing speed or accuracy. It’s about turning your keyboard into a performance space. The app’s design philosophy is all about minimalism meeting movement, giving users a crisp, cinematic experience that’s as visually satisfying as it is functional.

At the heart of the project is an interactive on-screen daw that lights up in real time with every tap you make. Each keystroke triggers smooth GSAP animations that mirror how you actually type. Fast, fluid, and a little unpredictable. You can choose from different modes, so it always feels diffrent whether you’re starting a new session. Every interaction feels intentional: type too fast, and you’ll see the app react with energy; slow down, and the animations breathe with you. It’s a game, a tool, and a design showcase all at once. Built for people who love performance and sounds but still want to have fun doing it.
What makes this project stand out is its personality. It doesn’t just want to measure your words per minute. It wants to pull you into the moment. With fluid transitions, responsive grid layouts, and clean SCSS structure, every page feels connected and alive. The entire experience runs at lightning speed thanks to Vite bundling and Astro’s hybrid rendering, so it feels more like an app than a website.
It’s bold but balanced, professional yet playful, and designed for anyone who loves seeing creativity and code collide. In the end, this isn’t just a typing test. It’s a digital stage for rhythm, focus, and flow, built to make every keystroke feel just a little bit thrilling.
