put together bypass.city with krnl-and-linkvertise-bypasser because they developed by the same people, linked to each other and use the same discord
put together the yuumari web bypasser and extension "auto-link-bypasser" because they developed by the same people and linked to each other
- Fixed some markdown and desc errors
- Improved consistency by merging together some links without any description which were previously listed one under another
- Moved stuff with a description above merged descriptionless links since it just looks goofy the other way around
**Changes made:**
- Removed [Xfinity Speed Test](https://speedtest.xfinity.com/), only has servers in the US and doesn't offer that much info anyway, all the tips are very basic, common knowledge stuff
- Removed [DLS Reports](http://www.dslreports.com/tools), pretty unreliable and alt tabbing cancels the speed test
- Removed [wifiman](http://wifiman.com/), admits to collecting information and sharing it with third parties
- Removed [Net Speed Meter](https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/p/app/9nmbx01pxz4l), there's no need to install an app just for a speedtest + it has pretty low ratings
- Removed [GoogleFiber](http://speedtest.googlefiber.net/), no https and doesn't show much info
- Removed [Speedtest-Tracker](https://github.com/henrywhitaker3/Speedtest-Tracker), overall seems pretty broken and is no longer updated (last update 2 yrs ago and 150 issues open)
- Removed [PeerFast](https://diegorbaquero.github.io/PeerFast/), stuck on test is starting and hasn't been updated in 2 years
- Removed [testmyspeed](https://testmyspeed.onl/), another speedtest developed by Ookla but there's no reason to use it over https://www.speedtest.net/ or fast
- Removed [speedtestcustom](https://pcmag.speedtestcustom.com/), clone of testmyspeed.onl with bright red background :')
- Removed [SpeedOf.Me](https://speedof.me/), doesn't show much info + sponsored by nord so it's heavily advertised on site
- Removed [BroadbandSpeedChecker](https://broadbandspeedchecker.co.uk/), shows signicantly slower results than normal and the site is overall pretty bloat with random stuff
- Removed [att](https://www.att.com/support/speedtest/), requires sign-up
- Removed [testmy](https://testmy.net/), pretty awful UI/UX, redirects a shitton during testing
- Removed [CIRA](https://performance.cira.ca/), requires a shitton of info to start the test
- Removed [OpenSpeedTest](https://openspeedtest.com/), pretty much a bloated clone of librespeed
- Removed [speed.io](https://speed.io/), doesn't show much info and meh UI, no reason to use it over everything else
- Removed [Netease](https://nstool.netease.com/), site is in chinese and no longer functional
- Removed [3](https://2ip.ru/), it's the russian version of 2ip, it should be moved to the non-eng russian section
- Removed [dnstools](http://www.dnstools.ch/), site is in german but generally should just be removed since no https
- Starred [Web Check](https://web-check.xyz/) in IP / Network Tools, it does very extensive checks and shows lots of information, is regularly updated and has a very nice and intuitive UI
**Changes made:**
- Reordered starred sites in Encode / Decode URLs. Ciphey should be first on the list because it's the fastest decryption tool, cross-platform and regularly updated. It is also fully automated, which I believe needs to be mentioned in the description since it's one of Ciphey's most distinguishable features. Added CyberChef under it, it has a lot of options but it is slower than Ciphey when it comes to longer/heavier encryptions. Placed universal text tools third because it only has options for encoding and converting text, not decoding, which I think is important to mention in the desc.
- Added [Dynamic](https://apps.maximelafarie.com/base64/) because it has a very clean, intuitive interface for dynamic Base64 encoding / decoding. It's the perfect site for when you just need to encode / decode some text to base64 and see it happen as you type for fastest results. It also cannot be found easily by googling, so I strongly believe it should be kept as a hidden gem sort of thing.
- Placed DenCode next to cryptii since they have the same description, there's no need for 2 lines.
- Added that TxtToEmoji can also be used for decryption in the desc.
- Placed Emoji Engine on a separate line because it is the only site with multilingual search, which I think is pretty important to mention in the description.
- Removed the dupe of Geniemoji which was just a link to the GH page of it, I decided to keep the github.io site of it.
- Removed Removed [Emotes Everywhere](https://kellphy.com/projects/kee.html) because it's just an empty page. Even when I refresh with adblock off, there's absolutely nothing even resembling an emoji there.
**Changes made:**
- Added descriptions
- Placed all Base64 related links next to each other for clarity
- Removed [Online UTF8 Tools](https://onlineutf8tools.com/), freemium (https://prnt.sc/I_fmTv41S-np) and doesn't have anything that isn't already covered in starred sites
- Removed [DenCode](https://dencode.com/), site is overall pretty janky since it automatically does every encryption/decryption possible at the same time and ciphers are broken, most stuff doesn't even have a decode option and it doesn't contain anything starred sites don't already have
- Removed [age online](https://age-online.com/), only one encryption method which is pretty weak and the project was last updated a year ago, doesn't appear to be maintained anymore
- Removed [Enigma machine](https://observablehq.com/@tmcw/enigma-machine), it's a cool way to show how the enigma machine worked but a tool used for encryption 100 years ago is obviously in no way practical to use now. This is more of a historical outlook on the very start of cryptography as a science, which is imo too niche to keep and it was last updated 4 years ago
- Removed [Encode/Decode](https://toolbox.googleapps.com/apps/encode_decode/), only a few encryption/decryption methods and nothing unique
- Removed [Universal Cyrillic decoder](https://2cyr.com/decode/?lang=en), max size is only 100KiB, site is very unintuitive and unreliable, hasn't been updated in 2 years
- Removed [Motobit](https://www.motobit.com/util/base64-decoder-encoder.asp), only has base64 encoding/decoding and the site looks awful
- Removed [Base64 encoder & decoder](https://www.64baser.com/), just a standard base64 encode/decode, doesn't have anything different from the starred base64 site
- Removed [URL Encode/Decode](https://www.url-encode-decode.com/), has less options and less intuitive UI than the other URL encode/decode site we have
- Removed [EmojiBatch](https://www.emojibatch.com/), only has the default emojis and provides no further information about them
- Removed [Emoji Cheat Sheet](https://www.webfx.com/tools/emoji-cheat-sheet/), doesn't have anything that isn't already covered by emojipedia + bloated with SEO BS
- Removed [PicMo](https://picmojs.com/), no longer maintained
- Removed [GetEmoji](https://getemoji.com/), copy of Emojipedia with way less features and nothing unique
- Removed [GenieEmoji](https://github.com/virejdasani/Geniemoji), dupe and wrong name
- Removed [Emotes Everywhere](https://kellphy.com/projects/kee.html), dead
**Changes made in Multireddits:**
- Removed [Wholesome](https://reddit.com/user/absolxskitty/m/for_when_you_are_sad) - deleted/privated
- Removed [Weird YouTube](https://www.reddit.com/user/jarod47/m/wierdpartofyoutube/), has only 3 communities:
- r/weirdtube that has has only 3.5k members and mostly low effort/quality posts
- r/WPOYT that has only 170 members and is pretty much dead
- r/DeepIntoYouTube is the only active + good quality posts one, so at that point might as well just browse through it instead of using this custom feed
- Removed [Streaming 2](https://www.reddit.com/user/asmailes/m/fullmoviesandtv/), it doesn't have anything the first streaming custom feed doesn't already have
**Changes made in Presentation Tools:**
- Removed [Carnac](http://code52.org/carnac/), last updated 3 years ago and appears to have lots of bugs, overall doesn't seem very useful
- Removed [Presen](https://presen-vid.com/), last updated a year ago and is no longer maintained, only has 2 stars on GH, overall doesn't seem very useful since it's really just a recording tool with no customizability
- Removed [mentimeter](https://www.mentimeter.com/), free tier doesn't offer much and is limited to 50 participants/mo. Unlimited participants, creating a team, importing slides, exporting results, co-editing etc. are all paid features
- Removed [beautiful.ai](https://www.beautiful.ai/), paid
- Removed [Deckdeckgo](https://deckdeckgo.com/), deprecated/discontinued
- Removed [Desk](https://www.animaker.com/deck), free tier isn't really worth it, features such as exporting to PDF, importing PPTs, collaboration, 2FA etc. are paid
- Removed [Slides](https://slides.com/), free tier is really limited and with ads
- Removed [ScreenRec](https://screenrec.com/), it's a recording/ss tool, not a presentation one
- Removed [Gif Convert](https://gifdeck.in/), last updated 3 years ago, seems to be broken
- Removed [Presentator](https://github.com/Paillat-dev/presentator), very basic ppts, can only be self hosted and most likely won't be updated anymore https://prnt.sc/TLo4jPT1yb25
- Removed [Chat-GPT-PPT](https://github.com/williamfzc/chat-gpt-ppt), seems to only be able to generate text presentations
- Removed [GPTForSlides](https://www.gptforslides.app/), free tier is limited to 3 presentations/mo with up to 10 slides only and 6000 characters limit per presentation. not really worth it, the presentations don't look that good either
**Changes made in Discord Embed Generators:**
- Removed [Rauf's Embed Generator](https://embed.rauf.wtf) because it got shut down
- Removed [TitanEmbeds](https://titanembeds.com/) since it's no longer maintained https://prnt.sc/NMaCNw3H-Y4h
- Removed [0x71 Discord Embed API](https://em.0x71.cc/) because it has very little customizability options and openly admits to collecting IPs
- Starred [Discohook](https://discohook.org/), it's very easy to use, lots of embed customization options, exporting/importing as well as saving backups of embeds is available. Also added the link to discohook utils which help enhance the discohook experience, particularly the discohook utils bot which can restore a discohook embed edit/view link, so even if you forgot to make a backup you can still recover and edit the embed with the bot
**Changes made in Discord Server / Bot Lists:**
- Removed [Discord Labs](https://www.discordlabs.org/), seems broken since both discord bot labs and statcord link give 502 error
- Removed [DiscordList](https://discordlist.me/), appears to be dead
- Removed [Wonder Bot List](https://wonderbotlist.com/) since it's in French and mostly promotes french bots, it should be moved to the non-eng French section
- Removed [YABL](https://yabl.xyz/), very small amount of bots showcased and hasn't been updated in almost a year
**Changes made in Custom Rich Discord Presence (Which should be renamed to Discord Custom Rich Presence):**
- Removed [CustomDiscordRPC](https://github.com/hohltier/CustomDiscordRPC) since last update was 2 years ago and it doesn't have any features [CustomRP](https://www.customrp.xyz/) doesn't already have
- Removed [DiscordRPCMaker](https://drpcm.t1c.dev/) since it's been archived and will not be updated anymore
- Starred [CustomRP](https://www.customrp.xyz/), it's regularly updated, multilingual and very lightweight. Also has plenty of features and pretty much everything you could ask for in a custom RP
First things first, added descriptions for a bunch of unique stuff. It's much better to actually leave descriptions whenever possible so if people are looking for, let's say, a terminal typing test, they can find it simply by searching and won't have to go through 10 links before they get to it.
Simply putting almost every link next to lessons is messy at best and misleading at worst since some of those links aren't typing lessons, they're exclusively typing tests or ways to practice typing.
Also, there were 2 instances of klavaro, the site link and the sourceforge link. You can get to the sourceforge download link from the site and it's much easier to navigate the site since it has translations for a bunch of languages, so I left the site link. I also divided klavaro, typefast, and typingstudy from regular typing lessons because those are the only ones that have multilingual options, and I think they're worth separating for the sake of people having an easier time finding a non-english exclusive typing lessons/tests.
Typelit.io is very unique in the sense that it's the only site where you can practice typing by retyping books. It doesn't really fit under lessons since there's no lessons, it's just an interesting way to practice.
Colemak is unique because while it is a pretty bare-bones typing test, it does offer alternative keyboard options (colemak, dvorak, tarmak, workman etc.) as well as a custom keyboard layout, so I think it's worth mentioning that in the description so folks who use non QWERTY based keyboards can have an easier time finding the typing test they need. It also really doesn't fit next to lessons since, again, it has no lessons.
Generally even just leaving monkeytype without a description implies it's a site for typing lessons, which it is not. It's a site for customizable typing tests, which can assist in improving typing skill, but it isn't an actual lesson or a tutorial by any means.
10fastfingers is pretty much the only site with active typing competitions, so it's worth separating from regular lesson sites. Again, makes it way easier for users to find what they need and saves them the time of clicking through shitton of links for a niche they need.
Now onto the removed stuff:
* [Typing Finger Positions](https://i.ibb.co/L8VY6xR/Finger-position-on-a-keyboard.png) - it's just an image. The exact same image you'd find on pretty much any typing lesson or even typing test site, except those also come with the additional features of actually being useful since you're doing something and they generally show you what keys you're pressing as well. I really doubt anybody would spare more than a few seconds looking at this image, let alone just have it left in a tab and looking back on it whenever they try to type to remind themselves of the finger positioning. For people who wanna learn typing, there's plenty of actually interactive lessons which beat just staring at an image. And even if someone needs this, it's one search away. It's on just about every typing related site. Just save this for the FreeImagesHeckYeah wiki.
* [Dance Mat Typing](https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zf2f9j6/articles/z3c6tfr) - Nobody above the age of 8 has any real use for this. There's plenty of other lessons you can more easily navigate and that don't come with an obnoxious animation and music.
* [RapidTyping](https://rapidtyping.com/) - it was last updated 2 years ago, most likely a dead project, has nothing the other sites/apps don't already offer and is pretty bloat since it's 50MB. There's really no good explanation for why software this simplistic would be 50MB unless it's just badly coded or has a bunch of useless shit. The UI itself is not really pleasant either.
* [kbs](https://kbs.im/) - bare-bones typing test. The only kind of special thing about it is you can change keyboard colors. That's about it. But even that is pretty much useless since you're not going to be looking at the image of a keyboard during the typing test, you're going to be looking at the words which are above it. The project was also last updated almost 2 years ago, so it's really unlikely it'll have any new features.
Last thing, I've renamed Typing Lessons to Typing Lessons / Tests since there's really both of those in this category and some sites don't have lessons at all, so I thought the category name just being Typing Lessons was kind of misleading. Typing games also generally fit more into the typing tests niche.
Changes made:
- Unstarred [TypeLit.io](https://www.typelit.io/), it has a very limited amount of books and it's just classics. You need to pay to import your own books to practice with, and even then the feature seems to be pretty unreliable
- Starred [Monkey Type](https://monkeytype.com/) - open source, has a clean UI + many themes, lots of settings and is very customizable
Removed:
- [TypingSoft](https://typingsoft.com/) - very star worthy site...20 years ago. Just one look at the UI is enough to tell this pure HTML monstruosity shall be left to rest in peace, away from the wiki. The most useful thing it does is link to a bunch of other resources, but most are either paid, dead, or just outdated
- [Typing Finger Positions](https://i.ibb.co/L8VY6xR/Finger-position-on-a-keyboard.png) - is just a PNG with pride keyboard. I really doubt staring at a picture would help anyone improve their typing skill
- [Dance Mat Typing](https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zf2f9j6/articles/z3c6tfr) - the average age demographic that'd actually find this enjoyable is way lower than the FMHY demographic... hopefully.
- [TIPP10](https://www.tipp10.com/) - requires sign up, not really worth it
- [RapidTyping](https://rapidtyping.com/) - very basic "lessons", not much customizability, app itself is somehow 50MB
- [keybr](https://www.keybr.com/) - has the same features as monkeytype but less customizability
- [Ratatype](https://www.ratatype.com/) - requires sign up
- [JustType](http://www.greatis.com/utilities/justtype/) - not really useful
- [Rasyti](https://www.blueseal.eu/rasyti/) - software version was last updated in jan 2022, almost 2 years ago. the online version is very bare-bones and doesn't have anything special
- [SoloTyping](https://solo.nabiraem.ru/) - most of the site is in russian, all courses require sign up to view
- [TypeFast](https://typefast.io/) - typing speed test, barely any customizability and doesn't have any features monkeytype doesn't already have
- [TypingBolt](https://www.typingbolt.com/) - the result of trying to use AI for the most mundane of things. can only login with google+/facebook 💀, the site animations are pretty questionable as you get white screen if you just idle for a few seconds, and overall just doesn't seem worth keeping
- [Stamina](https://typingsoft.com/stamina.htm) - connected to typingsoft, worthy of removal. if in doubt just take a quick look at the UI
- [AmpheType](https://code.google.com/archive/p/amphetype/) - last updated in 2010 :')
- [goodtyping](https://www.goodtyping.com/) - just your average typing speed test, not worth keeping
- [Typing-Fingers](http://www.typing-fingers.com/) - the UI is heavily inspired by youtube kids videos...
- [TheTypingCat](https://thetypingcat.com/) - dead
- [Typing Arena](http://www.typingarena.com/) - requires sign up
- [onlinetyping](https://onlinetyping.org/) - same features as typemonkey, just less customizability and worse UI
- [TechTypingTutor](https://sourceforge.net/projects/tachtypingtutor/) - last updated 5 years ago
- [Thokr](https://github.com/jrnxf/thokr) - last updated a year ago, english only, pretty limited functionality
- [TermTyper](https://github.com/kraanzu/termtyper) - doesn't seem very useful
- [CodeType](https://code-type.vercel.app/) - perfect site for when you just wanna write some random code without actually coding anything lol. no customizability other than being able to switch between a few languages, pretty useless as you could just practice typing code by the old school method of well, coding
- [kbs](https://kbs.im/) - very barebones typing speed test, last updated 2 years ago
- [Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing](https://archive.org/details/msdos_Mavis_Beacon_Teaches_Typing_1987) - over 30 year old typing guide, very low resolution, arguably not the most optimal source to learn from in 2023
- [EduClub](https://www.edclub.com/) - Typing club link is broken
- [NitroType](https://www.nitrotype.com/) - prompted to sign up after every race, pretty annoying
- [ZType](https://zty.pe/) - broken site
- [TypingTest](https://www.typingtest.com/) - less features than other typing lesson apps
Starred FreeTube, it has built in sponsor block & dearrow support, supports changing thumbnails, proxy videos via invidious, switch invidious instances & no ads.
