Hi Reddit,

I’ve been working on a project called BobaVim a browser-based game designed to help you learn and master Vim motions through fun, speedrun-style challenges.

You can play solo or compete in 1v1 races to clear levels using Vim commands. The game includes a tutorial, manual, and leaderboard so you can track your speed and progress.

I originally built this as a personal project using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Go, and in the process learned a ton about frontend/backend development, client prediction, concurrency, and real-time multiplayer systems.

The big news: I just made it open-source. While the game is already playable, there’s still a lot of room for improvement new levels, better UI/UX, optimized code, more multiplayer features, etc.

If you’re into Vim, speedrunning, game dev, or just want to contribute to a fun open-source project, I’d love your feedback and help!
