If you have typed these chapters and are not seeing 100% completion I would navigate to them now and check the last verse.
Fixed a bug where 2 Timothy 1 was incorrectly counting the number of verses on the history page.

- Custom themes are live!
You can now create your own themes for Type the Word.
Themes are saved in the database and will be available on all devices you are logged in with.
When creating a theme, you can minimize the settings, and preview your theme throughout Type the Word, before opening up the Theme Creator again to save it.
The "System" theme now allows you to choose what particular light and dark themes you want to use.
And if you match the "Secondary" color and "Success" colors you get this fun disappearing effect.
I will be making the best user created themes available by default for everyone, so if you create any themes that you particularly love, share a screenshot in the Discord channel or email me directly. Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with! 🎨
- Fixed a regression where incorrect letters were not highlighted in red.
Fixed a bug with backspace (⇦) where it would delete an entire word. This was a bug in Chrome that would happen after the shortcut for deleting the previous word was used (^+⇦) despite the ^ being unpressed.

- Fixed a long time bug where the line indicating what verses you have completed would flicker on verse completion.
- I updated the home page with details about how TTW works to improve SEO.
- On Windows, the 'restart the current verse' keyboard shortcut never actually worked. Thanks for pointing this out @AidenC! You can now restart the current verse on Windows with ^+⇧+⇦ . The MacOS shortcut is still ⌘+⇦ .
Updated the "Log" section /history so you can more visual see how consistenly you are typing. If there is any summary information you are dying to know. Let me know!

^+⇧+Y navigates to history
^+⇧+, opens settings

- Added keyboard shortcuts for deleting the previous word and restarting the verse.
^+⇦ deletes the previous word
^+⇧+⇦ restarts the current verse
- Fixed bug in next chapter button when on the second from last chapter of a book. The next chapter button was linking the next book rather than the last chapter. This link now points to the last chapter.
- Added a twinkle animation to notify users when there are new updates in the changelog.The changelog is one of the ways I communicate with you all as things change. This twinkle animation will be present therenotifying you that there are new updates to read. Visiting the /changelog page dismisses this notification.
- Updated Type the Word to remember where you last typed.
When you are logged in and load the home page (/) TTW redirects you to the last location you typed.
You can also navigate to your last typing location by clicking the TTW logo in the header.
- Started managing an email list.
I've had the privilege of emailing many of you individually, but I want to make sure everyone who wants to be is kept up to date with the project. So in addition to having an email in the footer, I'm starting a newsletter that will round up changes in small batches each month. New users are able to join by confirming their email after sign up (which lands them on this snazzy new page.)
All current users were opted into the newsletter, but the first issue will have a big unsubscribe button. The last thing I want to be is another leech on your attention.
This was a programming update to how Type the Word works. Originally, I built Type the Word on some new tech so that I could try TRPC and Axiom. Now that it's growing, I have migrated to more stable platforms to lower the maintenance burden. I am using REST for network communication and Sentry for debugging.
You may have noticed some short outages around this time! Sorry for the disruption. I don't think there will be this big of an architectural change again.
Type the Word is open source. If you are ever curious to see how it works, check out the Github repo here.
- Fix: At some point I broke the ability to access 2 Timothy 😅. 2 Timothy is now accessible!
