What feature would you like to see in a timer site?

[erezler]

I turn to all you speedcubers out there.
I'm a speedcuber myself and I developed my own version of a timer site (www.rubixtimer.com).
It's a free no-registration-required site.
However, I'm not sure I got the right features for my fellow speedcubers.

Would you help me with some suggestions?

- Random state scrambles
- Starts when spacebar is released and stops when spacebar is pressed. I've been holding spacebar before starting and when I was solving, I looked up and the timer had stopped and there were two sub-1 times.
- Best Mo3/Ao5/Ao12 etc, not just most recent
- Image of the scrambled cube
- Other scramblers
- More sessions

lol "best score"
lol "professional timer"
lol spelled rubik's wrong in the url already
lol 3x3 is only random moves
lol 2x2 is 6gen
lol avg3, avg5, avg 3 of 5
lol 5x5+ notation
lol 25 move default for bigcubes
lol no way to use more than 60 moves

and even if all these are fixed. I'd still want Random State Scramblers.

I really enjoy the "running" feature where the timer does not display your time, rather the word "running." (Sort of like qqtime) I find this helps me solve better because then I'm not hurrying to get a sub-20 solve and messing up an algorithm. Also, in the scramble section, it would be cool to have the cube scramble picture displayed (sort of like this https://www.worldcubeassociation.org/regulations/history/files/scrambles/scramble_cube.htm ) because I am notorious for screwing up scrambles. Also, more sessions would be nice. ^_^

Other than that, your cubing timer looks excellent.

Wow, this is your first day on the forum!
Welcome!

I like the feature where you can press any key to stop it. I too have gotten annoyed by losing seconds by it.

- Truly isn't spelled "Truely"
- the ability to "add a solution" if you have a stackmat timer
- the "running" feature
- an image of the cube, maybe just the front face so you can check that you scrambled the cube correctly
- make it so that if you hold the spacebar down when you're starting, it doesn't start until you

It looks really great!

1.general statistics.
2.avg/mean of x solves ( were x is a number that you can choose on your on, sort of yhing that you can do on qqtimer).
3.time distribution.
4.draw scramble (if wanted).
5.being able to put in times ( for example when using stackmat).
6.enlarging timer/scramble size.
7.different sort of scrambles ( for example for 4x4 you would have wca and sign).
8.a timer that you can download.
9.changing background/scramble/other words colours.

but tbh, if cstimer had the option 2 ( that i mentioned above) then you would have anything yo would want in a timer.

I also like that Prisma does graphs, and gives you a notification when you get a PB. csTimer does neither of those. It also doesn't save scrambles, so you can go back and e.g. try a PB scramble again. Prisma even saves the date you do it, so you can know when you got your PBs.

Figured this'd be a good place to say this;
There needs to be an Android timer that you can manually record times on! I got a stackmat and I can't keep track of Averages of 100, or even 12.
Edit: Unless there's one of those already and I just haven't looked well enough.

Hi all,
2 new improvements:
1. Image of scrambled cube (3X3).
2. Inspection time supported.

More features to come.

A mobile interface. Try csTimer on a phone to see what I mean.

Automatic Ao50s would be nice

Don't know how hard this is, but the ability to plug in a stackmat to a phone would be good.

Automatic Ao50s would be nice

Speaking of ao50s, there should be a standardized number of non-counting times for large averages.
For instance, an ao50 on csTimer is 44/50 (6 non-counting times, 3 on either end)

 

[Andreaillest]

Stackmat Pro timer to be compatible with windows 8 devices. This is literally all I ask for.

 

[Wesley]

a timer that lets you graph your times.

 

[TheSquareOne]

All the above are excellent suggestions.
The most important feature for me, however, is the ability to work offline!
Wifi is hard to come by here; I’m not sure how easy it is to work offline and update when a connection is found.

 

[Anubis]

beginner scrambler/ easy scrambler generator

 

[molarmanful]

A mobile interface. Try csTimer on a phone to see what I mean.

Something I developed that attempted to be friendly for all devices: http://molarmanful.github.io/minimalistimer

Perhaps the OP can benefit from this, but it's still a work in progress.

 

[xchippy]

Normal scrambles, being able to match up times with the scramble used, and it calculating averages. Also being able to change the color because I find that the brightness of the screen reins recognition, so I change it to black
