wordgen 2022.1.0

Word training set generator for learning typing and improving your performance

Word generator (for all you goddam keeb nerds 🤓)

The story

I finally got some time on my hands to learn different layouts and Colemak is what interested me the most. At this point I was already familiar with Monkeytype, but it didn't provide proper learning tools. I looked around for an alternative, but other sites and tools were buggy, limited, too complicated or I wasn't able to find them.

This was my solution. wordgen generates (well, filters out really) curated word lists for you based on your demands. Just starting out? Focusing on just arst and neio might be more efficient. Want a specific word set? English or anything custom can be loaded in and used as a source for the generator. It even features a convenient --copy flag, which makes Monkeytype's ability to save texts almost useless (although their word randomisation is still awesome).

Installation

from PyPi

• *nix: pipx install wordgen or python3 -m pip install wordgen
• Win: pipx install wordgen or python -m pip install wordgen

Note: May differ based on your installation

from source

If you want to do this, you can probably figure it out. If you can't, give me some time and I'll eventually rewrite this section to be more useful. (or someone can make a pr)
