I like the idea of this, personally I find the typing sounds a little too loud. I can just turn the volume of the entire program down, but adding a slider would be nice for simplicity.
Also not personally a fan of the emotes, a way to make them smaller/less obtrusive would be nice. They're a bit distracting to me as they are. The progress bar is really nice and motivating, though.
This is a really good idea though, and I'm curious to see where it goes!
