This is a personal project which I created solely to torture my friends ;)
I'm pretty sure you've heard about typeracer.
And if you have friends like mine who are faster than you, you'd surely be frustrated.
This is a program that removes your frustration by automating it.

You can participate in a public or private race without any issues.
With an average PC, the maximum speed clocks up to 500 WPM.
When setting a custom speed, the actual speed differs a lot from the target, due to selenium being a bit slow.
Right now, I don't think the code is very enjoyable to read.
How do I make it look better, and how do I increase the performance of the program?
Thanks a lot!
