A small update: I added mark2's random state scrambler for Pyraminx and 2x2x2. Thanks to Jaap Scherphuis, Syoji Takamatsu, Michael Gottlieb, Tom van der Zanden and Lucas Garron for their awesome work!
Aaaand: Cubemania should now work with IE8+.

Some people might be interested in the technology behind Cubemania:
The backend is written in Ruby using Rails 3.2 and provides a JSON Api for the frontend written in Coffeescript using Backbone.js. Almost all page rendering (except for login/session stuff) is done in the browser using eco templates.
The source code is here.

I think the graph line still should be there.

IM BACK INTO CUBING AND AWAY FROM MINECRAFT! YAAAAAAY!

So I've been using cubemania again for the last few weeks. I like the new updates and everything a lot, in particular the shorter scrambles for 2x2 and pyraminx. Something I noticed was the clock scrambles seem a little weird to me. When the pins are UUUU or DDDD, it gives both a u=x and a d=y part of the scramble when it should just be UUUU u=x, DDDD d=y because there are no pins that are down in UUUU and likewise no pins that are up in DDDD.

Edit: In addition, there are some instances where I see -6 in Square-1 scrambles when it should just be a 6.

Awesome Update for Cubemania

New Chart

• It displays all* your solves since you started using Cubemania on a time scaled graph.
• You can decide whether your times should be grouped by day, month or year.
• Comparisons with your cubing friends/enemies are now much more meaningful.

* You can zoom in by dragging with your mouse if you want to get a closer look at your recent progress.


Details of your last 5, 12 or 100 solves

• Are a great way to quickly share some solves with other speedcubers.
• They finally provide a way to get your last scramble. *

* That "feature" took us way too long. But hey, it's there now!

If you like what you see, go ahead and register!

You can find us on Facebook as well.

Yay! Thanks Tim!

Not sure if its just me or it happen to anyone else. The date on the graph isn't accurate. While I tried to zoom in my recent 3x3 session on the graph, the time axis disappear. Overall, I liked it, in fact, I've been looking for it but don't know what its call, hence my last solve since today was June '11. Its good that I finally found it. :P Great work there!

Yay! Thanks Tim!

You're welcome! :P
The next thing I want to add is the old "Download as CSV/Excel" feature. But that's not so easy since some people just went crazy and have tons of solve on Cubemania. ^^ Downloading all of them would block the server for some seconds... It should be in next week, though.

The date of the data points are always the first day of (day / week / month). So, they're only accurate if you select "Group by day" (maybe there are some time zone issues, though. I'll look into it). And thanks for mentioning it. That's actually confusing and I'll add the date range to the data points instead of the date of one (arbitrary) date.
The disappearing of the time axis shouldn't happen, though. Which browser and OS do you use?
And: Thanks!

I'm using Chrome on Window 7 Pro 64bit. I think it might be bacause that the range is very big so that the time axis disappear, my last solve before today were in June 2011, that might be the problem.
