UnCube: A speedcubing timer for the 21st century.

UnCube is a FOSS web-based speedcubing timer built with Angular Material.

I've been developing this software for the past year or so with no help, so I thought I'd post about it here and see if anyone is interested.

Right now, only the basic features are functional, but I've got a few GitHub issues open that people can contribute to.

You can find the GitHub repo here.

Uncube Updates: Solve synchronization.

Finally, UnCube has solve-synchronization. This feature has been a long time coming, but I've been taking a break from development on this app.

For the time being, at least, I'm back.

Some things to look forward to:

Statistics are coming. Soon users of the app will be able to view and export their solve statistics. (Open to suggestions as to the format of the exports)

Help wanted

If you are a graphical designer (and are willing to work for free), UnCube needs an icon/logo. See the GitHub Issue on this for more information. If anything is unclear, you can post a comment there asking for more information.

Ferris and Corro wallpaper

Have been struggling to find some nice Rust wallpapers, so I decided to make one for myself.

On the left is Ferris on a canvas. On the right is Corro the unsafe Rusturchin. (The contrast between safe (art-like) and unsafe Rust is supposed to be the joke here.)

Edit: The original image is 1080p. I got the drawings of Ferris and Corro from rustacean.net

QubeTime Updates: Account registration open, new name.

Hi everyone.

This is just an update about the speedcubing timer I've recently started developing. Refer to the previous post for more details.

First things first

The name has changed. As previously mentioned, I was still on the fence about the name and there happens to be a timer called Cubetime that already exists. For these reasons, I have decided to rename the project UnCube.

The old link qubetime.codelog.co.za still works, but in the coming months I will disable the subdomain and remove it's CORS entry.

The new domain is uncube.codelog.co.za.

New features

Account registration is now open! On the main page you'll notice a login button on large screen devices and a menu button with login and register buttons on small screen devices. Though registration and login is now possible, it is not yet possible to save your solves to the cloud. 😞

Also, even though sessions persist, I have not added the logic for checking if a session exists, so reloading the page returns the login/register buttons even though you are still 'logged in.'

Boo! I want to see the source code!

FINE!!! Here you go

As always, let me know if anyone has any suggestions/issues.

EDIT: Added link to GitHub repository

TL;DR Remember that new broken speedcubing timer? It just got a bit better!

Introducing QubeTime, the speedcubing timer for the 21st century

So, I know that there are loads of great speedcubing timers out there, but I've always felt that these are half solutions that leave a lot of manual work for the user of the timer to do things like synchronising solves between devices.

As a Computer Scientist and hobbyist speedcuber, I felt that I am in a unique position to offer a solution to this problem.

Over the past few weeks, I've been developing a new speedcubing timer that (for now; open to suggestions) I am calling QubeTime. Although QubeTime is in BETA right now and most of the eventual functionality is still missing, I thought I should release it to the public so that I can get feedback as soon as possible.

With that in mind, please send me your suggestions and feel free to contact me using my business email.

The current list of planned features include:

  • Multi-device cloud synchronisation
  • In-depth solve statistics.
  • Import/export to/from all major* speedcubing timers.
  • Easy solve sharing with link previews. (Twitter cards, etc...)
  • ?? Speedcubing news bulletins ??
  • User solve comments.

TL;DR I'm building a new speedcubing timer, it'll have lots of cool features.
