Enter the Live Feed.
A real-time synchronization engine that fetches, sanitizes, and streams the latest news directly to your typing field.
THE PIPELINE.
NewsMonkey isn't just a frontend wrapper. We built a high-throughput content ingestion engine that process tens of thousands of articles.
Ingestion.
Our edge workers poll 12+ premium news APIs globally every 15 minutes, pulling raw JSON streams into our central queue.
Sanitization.
We strip out HTML, ad tags, and irrelevant metadata. The text is analyzed for reading difficulty, length, and subject matter before hitting PostgreSQL.
Zero Latency.
Curated articles are pushed to edge caches (Redis). When you hit play, the text is delivered in double-digit milliseconds.
THE ARENA.
The future is in your hands, use your fingers, type daily, read daily, learn daily_
Every keystroke is
bringing you near to your goal.
We don't just count WPM. We track burst speed, fatigue drop-off, and character-specific error rates to build a comprehensive profile of your typing mechanics.
An Infinite Feed.
You aren't just typing. You are consuming the world's information stream in real-time. Stay informed at 120 words per minute.
Adaptive
Difficulty.
The texts you type scale with your skill. As your WPM increases, we pull denser, more complex journalistic pieces to continually push your ceiling.

How two students
built something real.
🎓 3rd Year B.Tech · Built in 3 months · Shipped to the world
We were 3rd-year B.Tech students drowning in news we never had time to truly understand. Group discussions, interviews, current affairs — we kept feeling left behind despite reading every day.
One late night after a mock GD session that went badly, Sachin said: 'What if reading the news was also practicing typing?' That one sentence changed everything.
Over 3 months of weekends, late nights, and skipped lectures — Sachin crafted the UI , features and animations that made it feel premium, while Geetansh built the entire backend pipeline (articles, auth, DB, AI).
NewsMonkey isn't just a typing tool. It's how we chose to fight information anxiety — by turning passive reading into active, measurable practice. Built by students, for every student who wants to get smarter, faster.
The systems architect behind NewsMonkey. Built the real-time article sync, auth layer, PostgreSQL schema, and the AI-powered news backend from scratch.
The design engineer who made NewsMonkey feel alive. Crafted every animation, component, and interaction — obsessive about the pixel-perfect experience.
Built with ♥ during college · Shipped to the world
