What it does

You can play typeracer in the terminal over ssh

How I built it

Bubbletea and lots of love

Challenges I ran into

I Severely underestimated how much time I had to do this. Luckily I managed to get an MVP without too much trouble.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

• Wrote my own networking protocol using just raw TCP.
• Working ssh server that I can go onto whenever I want

What I learned

i got some more experience with go and I learned how to host things outside of my local network
