taetype

Personal typing speed tracker with minimal web UI

A small personal project surfaced on Hacker News with modest engagement (rank 6 in a tiny 13-item HN pool), but zero traction on GitHub, social media, or developer platforms. Single-source anomaly in a pool where 86.5% of items are single-source noise.

Why now: Thin HN pool (13 items) creates rank inflation; no actual event or release detected.

• HN rank 6 but only 13 total HN items in pool — tiny denominator, not front page
• Zero GitHub signal (no gh rank/score present despite 25% weight)
• Zero X, Reddit, Product Hunt, Bluesky presence
• oursRank 43 with score 13.1 — our own pipeline barely flagged it

Considerations: HN algorithmic ranking of niche personal tools often produces false positives; no stars, no forks, no discussion threads, no second-source validation. Likely a Show HN that briefly bubbled in a thin pool then died.

EMERGING SIGNAL · Ignore: No signal worth tracking; revisit only if GitHub stars or multi-source emergence materializes.
