I know this is a little late:
# IMPORTANT: I will be taking a break from Monkeytype for the duration of December (and potentially a bit of January too). I will address all PRs and issues when I start working on the project again. For critical issues, email jack@monkeytype.com. Thanks.

# About
Monkeytype is a minimalistic and customizable typing test. It features many test modes, an account system to save your typing speed history, and user-configurable features such as themes, sounds, a smooth caret, and more. Monkeytype attempts to emulate the experience of natural typing during a typing test, by unobtrusively presenting the text prompts and displaying typed characters in-place, providing straightforward, real-time feedback on typos, speed, and accuracy.
# Features
- minimalistic design, with optional advertisements and focus mode while typing
- type what you see, see what you type
- live errors, wpm, and accuracy displays
- variety of test lengths and languages
- punctuation and numbers modes
- quotes
- themes
- smooth caret
- account system
- challenges and just-for-fun test modifiers
- and much more
# Discord bot
On the [Monkeytype Discord server](https://www.discord.gg/monkeytype), we added a Discord bot to auto-assign optional roles based on typing performance and challenge completion. You can find its code over at https://github.com/monkeytypegame/monkeytype-bot.
