Introducing QubeTime, the speedcubing timer for the 21st century (qubetime.codelog.co.za)

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.

Very cool! In the past when I've switched apps for whatever reason (one crashes, I lose things, or lots of time passes and I forget where all my old stats are), I have just started fresh. It's kind of fun to constantly get new records for Ao12, Ao100, PB for a few weeks :)

But yes, even better would be to move all my stats to the new timer.... so thank you, this sounds great.
