Implementation Summary

What Was Built

A production-ready, statically-hosted typing trainer web application with full support for custom keyboard layouts and ZMK keymaps. The application is designed to be deployed on GitHub Pages and run entirely in the browser.

What's Next (To Do)

Before First Deployment

  1. Run npm install to install dependencies
  2. Test locally with npm run dev
  3. Build with npm run build
  4. Test the build with npm run preview
  5. Push to GitHub repository
  6. Enable GitHub Pages in repository settings
