Title: I made an open-source program that lets you calculate your WPM from everywhere
Post by: burn1nsun on Sun, 15 January 2017, 11:54:40

http://www.wpmdesktop.com

I've finally finished up my first website and program to be launched to the public.

Basically its a program that calculates your WPM from anywhere with the freedom of being able to type whatever you want. Meaning that you can test out your "actual" WPM, instead of the one you get from having to read and write fixed paragraphs of text on the common sites.

 You can count your your WPM during a time period, or until you hit a certain word amount.

Other features include being able to see your WPM live from the Traymenu, and automatically pausing/continuing during idle times so your WPM wouldn't be ruined when you need to stop think for a while.

I'd really love some feedback and suggestions or whatever you think about it!

I really hope you guys enjoy using this as much as I enjoyed making it.

If you guys want to ask me anything about developing or whatever feel free!

I updated the installer, apparently the last time I updated it it didn't go through properly.

Now you should be able to set the idlepause to 0.5 seconds and the word count label in the main window should be correct, also the program should be searchable in the start menu.
