Perhaps I could throw some achievement ideas into this If you're still planning on doing it.

• An achievement for wpm baselines (40 wpm which is the average, 70 for an average "professional" typist, 100 for extremely experienced typists, possibly 150 and then 200 wpm)
• An achievement for spending a certain amount of time on Monkeytype
• Achievements for typing a certain number of quotes (such as 10, 50, 100, 200 etc)
• (When multiplayer is added) Winning a specific number of races
• Contributing to Monkeytype such as an idea added or if you found a bug (This achievement could be really hard to get as the site progressively gets more polished and bug free)
• An achievement for typing a specific amount of words
• Hidden achievments such as finding the carrot/banana
• An achievement for getting a high spot on a leaderboard; such as getting top 3 or top 10 (by ghost)
• An achievement for becoming a patreon (by ghost)

an achievment to add also when you get number 1 ,2 ,3 or top 10 in the leaderboard

an achievement for being a patron

also for being a contributor

You know you could just edit your current post instead of posting several times.

+1 for this and other Gamification ideas.

I'm thinking of having a pop-up similar to macOS notifications pop up on the top right of the screen and having an achievements dashboard similar to Minecraft? As a bonus, this dashboard could show wpm progress (50, 60, 70 , 80, 90, 100+) and have some hidden achievements like easter eggs.

Thoughts?

The UI part is very simple. The backend part will be more complicated.

I can start working on this later this month as its a good first issue for me to get the hang of the repo. I'll also check the backend to see if I can help out or contribute ideas. Can I be assigned for the UI part?
