🎯 Feature Idea: Relative Pace Mode! (+% PB, −% Daily, etc.)

[FictionFoxy]

Ohhh yes, let’s give it just enough playful energy that it doesn’t feel like a boring spec doc — plus a tiny UI mockup to help the devs “see” it.

🎯 Feature Idea: Relative Pace Mode! (+% PB, −% Daily, etc.)

Body
Hey Typers! ✌️

So, current pace modes:

off / pb / tagpb / last / avg / daily / custom const

Love them. But… they’re kinda stuck in time. Static targets don’t flex when we get better (or when our fingers wake up and choose violence 🧨). Why not make the caret pace… adaptive?

🧠 The Idea

Let us pick a pace relative to one of the existing modes:

“PB +5%” 🚀
“Daily −10%” 😌
“Avg +2%” 💪
“Last +3%” 🔥

Basically:

Target Pace = (Selected Mode) × (1 ± %)

Always a just right challenge — not too easy, not “who put concrete on my keyboard” hard.

📐 Tiny UI Mockup (super rough!)

Pace Mode:  [ pb ▼ ]

Relative Adjustment:
[ - ]  5%  [ + ]

Units: %
Dynamic: ✓

Alternative layout:

Pace Source: [ avg ▼ ]  
Adjustment:  [+   3   -] %  
( ) Slower     (•) Faster  

Or for the “I want to rollercoaster my progress” people:

📈 PB + 7%  |  Current Target: 102 WPM

✅ Why this rocks

• Lets the user adapts to good days + bad days
• Keeps goals motivating without micro-managing custom const
• Fits right into the existing pace system
• Makes progress feel like… progress 😎

❓Questions

Would this slide nicely into the current logic for pace modes?
Happy to tweak the concept, add mockups, or high-five anyone who gets excited about it.

Thanks for reading — now let’s pace ourselves smarter 💃🕺
