Situation
deep learning group project at university. I was concurrently taking the capstone project which emphasised team-work and Scrum methods.

  • what will you do before the next meeting?
  • any troubles you are having currently?
Result

Typing Telemetry

This page contains a link to my Github repository:

https://github.com/abaj8494/homebrew-typing-telemetry

The repo is one of my most polished projects and is written in Go. 𐃏

Features

  • includes a CLI typing speed test with customisable options
