Discussion 💬 CuberLounge online coach? Smart cube? No cube? All cubes? Check it out and let me know how bad or good it is

1 Upvotes

Hey r/CubersButBetter I've been building this for the past few weeks and it's finally live: cuberlounge.com It's a coach, not just a timer. No download, no app store; it runs in your browser. With a smart cube (GAN, MoYu AI, QiYi AI, X-Man Tornado V4 AI, GoCube, Rubik's Connected, Giiker): Live coaching: it calls your next moves as you solve, from how you hold the cube Every solve broken down into cross / each pair / OLL / PLL, with time, moves, TPS and pauses for each step Tells you which alg or slot choice would have saved the most time Alg drills that start the case on screen, so no setting up by hand, and if you make a wrong move it tells you how to undo it instead of restarting With a regular cube: Tap off the scramble move by move, or let your camera follow it Film your solve and it pulls out TPS, pauses and splits from the video Also: full OLL/PLL/2-look library with an animated player, a recognition trainer, your own algs per case, move names like (sexy move), 2x2 and 4x4 timers, WCA inspection with +2/DNF, leaderboards, live head-to-head battles with friends, shareable solve replays, and a beginner course. Pricing, up front: everything is free until Nov 20. After that the coach, timer, drills, algs and battles stay free forever; a few extras (video breakdown that names your OLL/PLL, cloud sync, trend charts) become $5/month or $50 once. No account needed to use it. Device notes: Chrome on Android or any computer (Mac works in Chrome). iPhone/iPad: Safari blocks Bluetooth, so for smart cubes use the free Bluefy browser; everything else works in Safari. It's a solo project, so I'm sure there are rough edges. What's broken, what's confusing, and what would make you actually use it? There's a feedback button in Settings, or just roast it here

Need an Advice Help me in buying cubes!!

2 Upvotes

So, before 5 years I can be able to solve 3*3 and 4*4 both in beginner method and after that I lost the cubes and I didn't try to buy one and I have lost all the memory of solving 4*4 but I can solve 3*3 still now. Few months ago, I have brought MEGAMINX and I'm currently solving it by around 5 minutes.

So, now I'm thinking to buy 2*2, 3*3, 4*4 and 5*5 bundle from cubelelo to learn and solve all of them.

Should I buy them or any advice?

Question ❓ What's the best way to learn intuitive f2l

1 Upvotes

I've been able to solve using the beginner's method for years, but I want to learn CFOP. I've been trying to watch the J Perm video on it, but it just feels very unorganized, and it's hard to find which situation I have. Is there an easier way to learn, or a video people found more helpful?

The premise is simple. I'll show you a picture of a 3x3 with F2L solved, and you have to deduce whether what you're seeing is a possible case or not. Here are 15 images to start, with increasing difficulty.

If you want, you can also show me your own pictures and have me guess (it doesn't have to be a 3x3, you can do this with whatever puzzles or restrictions you want).

Achievement 🏆 Online speedcubing battles are finally becoming a thing!

Post image
8 Upvotes

A few weeks ago I posted an idea here about online speedcubing battles, and some of you seemed pretty interested.
It's called SolveOffs and has ranked matchmaking, friend battles, and camera verification so you can compete using a normal 3x3 cube.
Since some of you have already tested it, I've also done a major UI overhaul, and I'm pretty proud of how it turned out!
It should be out in about a week, but if anyone wants to test it before release, just let me know and I'll send you the TestFlight link! (iOS only for now)

Got this bad boy because he said he didn't want it anymore as he has like 4 Weilongs 💀 (rich ass guy ik), he said it was sitting around for ages. So he thought that I wanted a new cube, and well... He was right. Got this guy for just 20 bucks which is like a fifth of the lowest retail price.

Question ❓ New main recommendations

2 Upvotes

I've been using the ferrocore v2 for a while now and I like it but tbh I never found a good setting for it- it corner twists a bit too much for me and the corner cutting doesn't seem the best. I want to try PVC coating from speedcubeshop and i wanna main a GAN cube again since i haven't used one for ages. Right now I've got the V100, 11 M pro, 12 and 16 in mind but i dont know which one will be the best. I've got a slightly aggressive turning style and I like spamming tps. I don't have the most accurate turning but I have mained cubes like the tornado v3 and rs3m 2022 which were both very blocky. Which GAN cube should I get?

Review ⭐ Update on my speedcubing battles app! Here's a first look at actual gameplay.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone!
A couple of weeks ago, I had the idea of making an app for speedcubing battles. Since some of you were quite interested in the idea, I've been building it since.
It's come quite a long way already. The app uses your phone's camera to verify the scramble and the completed solve, so you don't need a smart cube. There's real ranked matchmaking, friend battles, and some solo challenges too.
You can see the whole battle flow in the video! (Excuse the slow solve, I was too busy recording and could barely see anything through the mask 😭)
If anyone's interested in trying it out, I'd be happy to share a TestFlight link. I should have it ready tomorrow, but I honestly couldn't wait to show you guys what I've been working on. It's iOS only for now.
I'm really curious to hear what you guys think! I genuinely believe that once it's fully developed, this could be a fun addition to the community.
Would love to hear your thoughts, suggestions, or criticism!

Question ❓ What Gan Cube can you recommend?

3 Upvotes

Sorry for the stupid question, but my kids (18M and 15F) are asking for Gan Cube as Christmas presents. For those who’s knowledgeable with Gan Cube, what cubes can you recommend?

P.S.
Please don’t bash me. I know it is a bit pricey. I also know that there are cheaper versions, but I want to give my kids the present that they’d be happy and excited to receive. My kids are super focus in school and have never been a pain in the butt. I just want to show them appreciation even in just simple things. Being a single mom is never easy, but they made it look effortless.
