💡 Add live typing stats

Live typing stats 💡

I think it would be beneficial if the user can get an idea of their current performance while typing.
This can be done by implementing a small dashboard below the typing section of the GUI. (See mockup diagram)

This dashboard could illustrate some typing statistics such as:

• The number of words that have been typed (e.g. "Words typed: 34")
• The number of words left in the paragraph (e.g. "Words left: 43")
• Elapsed time (e.g. "Time: 45s")

Mockup diagram 🧐
This mockup is what the first design iteration of the dashboard may look like.

Yes I was thinking the same thing too.
I guess I can add a setting which allows user to keep the top bar of his choice?
Like:

minimal: the current dashboard which shows a bar with color depending upon user's speed
verbose: the kind of dashboard you mentioned

How does that sound?

Yes. This is a good suggestion. It will be an additional level of customization in the application.

It sounds great. Can I take up this issue? I can start the programming this weekend.

Sure thing :)
I am assigning you to this then. If you need any kind of help, don't hesitate to ask :)

I have resolved the issue in this PR #7.

Should the issue be closed now?

[kraanzu]
