How the ranking works
The board ranks sustained net WPM — your real speed across a week of actual work, not a thirty-second sprint. A flashy peak doesn't carry you; consistency does. Accuracy rides along for context but never sets your place, so nobody games the board by typing carefully on one short run.
You can read it three ways: everyone, your language, or people who type like you. A developer's day is mostly symbols and shortcuts; a writer's is flowing prose. Comparing a coder against a novelist on raw WPM isn't fair to either, so Pulse infers a persona from your weekly app mix and lets you rank inside it.
It is anonymous by design. Joining sends a pseudonymous ID and your weekly figures — never app names, window titles, or a word of what you typed. You can leave and wipe every row you ever sent from the app, as the privacy policy spells out. Want the full picture of your own numbers first? Start with the in-app Records view.
