UnCube: A speedcubing timer for the 21st century. (uncube.codelog.co.za)

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.

I mean, people who find your software are probably looking for it, so they're probably your target audience, but you never know what might pique somebody's interest!

And maybe somebody out there has been living under a rock, has been doing speedcubing, but has no idea that's what it's called. You never know!

I'm still struggling to find the info here. I love those comments that clarify click bait or obscure titles so that I don't need to click. Anyway, in this case I just assume it's about Rubik's and I don't care about this. But kudos on building a stopwatch, I guess :P

Yeah you got it. Theres a regulatory body, WCA, that oversees competitions on who solves the Rubik's cube fastest in any number of events. They have particular rules that dictate how long you are able to inspect the cube and also provide the scramble for each solve so as to maximize randomness, so its a bit more than a regular stopwatch. Granted I haven't looked at this app in particular but speedcubing apps tend to keep track of averages of 3,5, and 12 previous solves and provide lifetime stats and graphs for monitoring trends.
