~ React.js ~ Ruby on Rails ~

Proto-typist is a typing trainer that focuses on correcting the muscle memory and patterns that cause typos. The site is a skeuomorphic single page app designed to be responsive and resemble an old CRT monitor. It captures user's typing using a text input box hidden offscreen, and 'fills in' the target text on-screen. Great care was taken to make this whole process invisible to the user; it ought to feel as if they are just typing. React.js ensures the page updates happen as fast as the user can type. It was the runner-up for the Most Original award in my App Academy cohort, and App Academy chose to show it as a favorite to represent our cohort to alumni.
