Well, it's a pleasant surprise to see this being still posted! It's been 10 years this last April that I made HackerTyper! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2480946

I can honestly say it 100% bootstrapped me in the programming world and it's been one of the best things I ever!


Oh I can assure you it’s alive and well. As a Middle School CS teacher it gets annoying. Each time I have a kid declare to the class, “Look, I’m a hacker,” I have to stop what I’m doing and explain to them that no that’s not hacking. It has started some good conversations about how they can hack stuff in their own home, but mostly it’s a bit of a distraction. So, thanks for the teachable moments throughout the years.


Ahah I live to hear stuff like this! You are welcome! :D I actually receive a fair amount of email from kids with clear school emails and they always put a smile on my face :D


Thanks for making it and keeping it online!

My kids often want to “work like dad” so I plant them next to me with the spare laptop, open Hacker Typer, F11 and let them fire away.

The 7yo by now knows it’s not really him typing all that but still thinks it looks cool.

The 3yo pecks the keyboard key by key and then stares intently at the screen to try and correlate his typing with what shows up on screen…


Thanks for creating this site! As someone who has lead a programming club for high schoolers, it was an amazing resource to show budding programmers, let them play around with it, and then tell them how to build it themselves! It's a great little project to learn programming.


Thanks for making this! I still hop on occasionally for when I have the itch or when trying out a new keyboard or desk arrangement. I find I still type the best on my 1989 IBM Model M. (Average: 86 WPM)


Thank you so much inventing it.

This serves as an ice breaker in my introductions to python programming and works like a charm every time.


I remember using this in front of my friends in late middle school, good times. Thanks!


For those who haven't seen or don't remember it - one time (please let me know if there were more) when Hacker Typer got on TV: "They wanted to show me making games on TV, I couldn't resist!" imgur: https://imgur.com/lz7hOlC reddit: https://old.reddit.com/r/gifs/comments/1w862f/they_wanted_to... youtube: https://youtu.be/xnDwChRYB6Q?t=118


I'm pretty sure it was also featured in the first episode of Russian Doll. The screen wasn't zoomed in enough for me to verify it, but it looked very similar. Maybe if you watch it in 4k you can tell for sure.



Oh nice, I missed that one! And I love Russian Doll!


This brings back so much memories, when you pretend to hack to the mainframe...


Or program a GUI interface using visual basic to track the killers IP address.


You can do it twice as quickly when you have a friend typing with you.

Never gets old. For uninitiated:

Have you had anyone reach out to use this for a film or anything?


Uni students are definitely the ones that ask permission the most! Bigger studio, I can't think of any right now
