How to use Typmin.

Go to /signup, pick a username, pick a password (min 8 characters). You land on the Home dashboard.

No email, no verification. Your draft data is private to your account; keystroke counts are aggregated into the leaderboard.

Visit /. You'll see:

• A live clock with timezone + optional countdown.
• Continue writing → pill that opens your latest doc.
• Today and All-time keystroke totals.
• The currently growing seed, plus recent harvests.
• Today's leaderboard and the shared Playground.

/write is an Obsidian-style page on a desk. The top TabsBar holds recent documents; switching tabs preserves your last scroll + cursor position per document.

A Local mode toggle in the sidebar lets you open a real folder on disk and edit multiple .md files in tabs — nothing is uploaded (see §06). Requires Chrome, Edge, or Arc.

The status bar has a Page ↔ Wide toggle: Wide strips borders + max-width so your text fills the editor edge-to-edge. Choice is remembered per-browser.

When a seed hatches, a planter modal pops instantly — one click to Stay with [country] or pick a new one.

/passport shows your collection indexed by country. There are 60 animals across 12 countries, each with time-of-day and roll variants.

• Plant on a country card to start a seed.
• At ~1,000 keystrokes it hatches into a grown typmin.
• 放生 (two-click confirm) frees an owned animal.
• Changing seeds mid-growth asks you to confirm — progress is lost.

/journal is a small community feed: daily reports, good news, and usage tips. Everyone logged in can post, browse, and upvote.

/feedback is the same shape but for product reports — suggestions, bugs, general thoughts. Posts move from Open → In progress → Resolved.

Typmin's local storage option is a deliberate pattern: anything that is preference work lives in your browser, never on the server. Clearing browser storage resets it; logging out does not.

To wipe all of it: DevTools → Application → Local Storage → delete the typmin* and app-prefs keys. Your account, saved documents, and collection on the server are untouched.

Local mode is the privacy affordance: open /write, enable Local mode in the sidebar, and pick a folder. Files are read and written directly on your disk — nothing hits /api/documents. Keystroke counts still batch to the server as an anonymous delta. Requires Chrome, Edge, or Arc (File System Access API).

The folder handle for Local mode is stored in IndexedDB under typmin:local-vault-handle — not syncable, not uploaded.

/account/settings holds appearance and privacy controls.

• Dark / Light toggle.
• 29 theme presets — Gruvbox, Everforest, Nord, Solarized, Tokyo Night, Catppuccin (all four), Rosé Pine, Dracula, One Dark, Kanagawa, GitHub, Warm Cream/Cocoa, High Contrast, and more. Live search filters the list.
• Custom hex accent — override the palette's accent.
• Font toggle — sans vs serif.
• Privacy — delete any saved document.

The whole reason Typmin exists:

1. The editor fires a keydown → lib/keystroke-counter.js increments an integer.
2. The key value is discarded immediately — our code never reads it.
3. Every 10 seconds the counter delta batches to the server with a session ID. No keys, no text fragments.
4. Drafts you explicitly save live in our DB, private to your account.
5. Local files never leave your disk — they aren't uploaded to our servers.
