Web App to organize, learn, and practice keyboard shortcuts

It wasn't easy, but today I reached a first humble goal: 100 people signed up for a free KeyCombiner account!

Signups were driven mostly from writing articles about KeyCombiner on my own blog and from sharing public keyboard shortcut collections on Reddit.

Originally, I thought it would take much longer to get this far, but then Coronavirus and social distancing measures eliminated most of my other free-time activities.

So, a couple of months ahead of schedule, I was able to publish the first basic version of KeyCombiner.

January 5, 2020 Came up with the idea

At the beginning of this year, I published a very popular blog post on managing my personal knowledge base:
https://tkainrad.dev/posts/managing-my-personal-knowledge-base/

Part of it was describing how I maintain a spreadsheet of all keyboard shortcuts I used.

However, it became clear that this process was actually not very efficient and didn't bring much value. So the basic idea for KeyCombiner was born: An app to efficiently create your own collections of shortcuts. Subsequently, the app should provide as much value on top of these collections as possible.

There are many typing trainers, but few focus on keyboard shortcuts, and none build around the idea to create your own collections of shortcuts to learn and practice. I wanted to have such a tool, so I started to build.
