Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I built Tokyo Rail Typing to make typing practice feel more like a journey than a drill. I love how Japanese rail lines turn a city into a memorable network, so every correctly typed station moves a train toward the next stop. The trickiest part was building a romaji engine that accepts natural alternatives such as shi/si, chi/ti, and tsu/tu without making mistakes feel punishing. The launch now includes 52 routes, detailed results, collections, and live races you can share with a friend. I’d love feedback on the routes you want next and anything that would make the experience more fun or useful for learners. Thanks for checking it out — have a good trip! 🚆
