With my background in scouting, I recently stumbled once again upon Morse code. In short, it was used in the early days of electronic communication when only simple signals could be sent. With more and more advancements in technology, it was replaced by newer encodings, like today’s UTF-8. However, apart from telegraphic messages, you could also use light signals to communicate. That being said, in some edge-case situations it could still be useful—or at least an interesting thing to know and show off.
Taking this into account, I thought about creating a simple website, something like monkeytype
, but for Morse code. What do you think about that?
Currently, to make things a little more interesting, I’m playing around with a virtual oscillator in JS:
<pre><code>currentOsc = context.createOscillator();
currentGain = context.createGain();
currentOsc.type = &quot;sine&quot;;
currentOsc.connect(currentGain);
currentGain.connect(context.destination);
</code></pre>
That’s a simple way to create it. For more reference, you can visit the documentation
.
In general, the idea is to actually reflect the correct timing, consistency, and speed of writing a message in Morse.

A developer explores creating a Morse code typing practice website similar to Monkeytype, using JavaScript's Web Audio API to generate oscillator sounds. The project aims to help users practice Morse code timing, consistency, and speed through interactive web-based training.

Forgotten code

hey, I created a toy for morse code. <a href="https://cjinhuo.github.io/morse/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow"> https://cjinhuo.github.io/morse/ </a>. You could have a try.

Would be an interesting project! 🔥

Please add the concept of spaced repetition to your plan, I think it would help.

l love this! I’m still in scouring, and I got excited when I saw this on my feed. Good luck! If you ever need a contributor to the project, don’t hesitate to ask🔥

i have always loved morse code as a primary means of communication, thanks for this.
