Captain Ratatype · 04 Mar 26 · 2 min read · 13381 views

For the past thirteen years, we’ve been helping people around the world learn to type faster. Over this time, the project has evolved, the team has grown, and the world itself has changed, yet our mission has stayed the same — to help people type both quickly and accurately so they can save time for the things that matter in life.

We'd love to celebrate with you today, so we're kicking off a Birthday promo and sharing what we've accomplished. Here we go!
