Description
My kids are surprisingly keen to learn to type, and I couldn't find any thing out there which wasA) Free without adverts B) Worked well on mobile/tablets C) Was clutter free and easy to useI wondered how easily I could vibe code a solution.Here's the result.Everything here was "vibe coded" to an extent, the graphics, sounds, art-work, even the github pipelines ( and I used chatgpt to instruct me how to configure everything in AWS )I'm particularly pleased with the phoneme game, https://free-kids-typing-games.com/games/phoneme-sound-lab/ which was crafted using Google's TTS engine, and I think could be expanded further.The mobile keyboard is also particularly impressive and works really well for little fingers.I thought the hacker news crowd might be interested.You can see the code in all it's gory AI generated detail herehttps://github.com/Alan01252/free-kids-typing-games.com
