In my opinion AlgDB isn't that great it would be much better if it was updated much more often with new subsets/algs.

I've put together an initial draft of a document with resources. I need help organizing, formatting, and adding resources to it. The idea here is to compile any useful resources/tools/websites/tutorials/channels all in one spot, since it's easy to miss them as there are so many.

Please look at the document here and edit it as you can. We need as much help as possible so please edit and discuss in this thread. Thanks.

I added a timer site and an app.

I added a timer site and an app.

Great, please go ahead and add any others you can think of.

To anyone else who sees this, would greatly appreciate your help putting this together.

Chao Timer is good for ios. I see you need some resources for 2x2. I'll get some after I'm done with school.

To anyone else who sees this, would greatly appreciate your help putting this together.

I added a Cubing Podcasts section with a list of all the active cubing podcasts.

I'm about to publish the Resources page, would appreciate if you guys took a look at the document here and see if you can think of anything else to add. Thanks.

Finally published a Resources page:

Format could use some work, but please go ahead and let me know any feedback or anything missing. Thanks.

Hello!
Does anyone know of an block trainer app for iOS?
Similar to
https://cubegrass.appspot.com/block_trainer/ but for iPhone.

J perm’s YouTube channel is extremely useful for getting to sub x and useful advanced tips.

Yall gonna forget about sarahs website

Sure, it has some nice sets but many are outdated

Well when I'm on mobile I used ZXYTimer on my phone or iPad, and on my computer I use cstimer. Other than that I'll use my timer and log them in a notebook I have, but I only do that when I'm doing slightly weird stuff, like when I do 3 2x2 relays.

For learning I either use cubeskills or CyoTheKing's guides.

This is a guide to the Hoya method with some advanced edge algs. This is how I learned Hoya before the eventual switch to Yau.

Just an update to make this page more useful:
https://www.speedsolving.com/pages/resources/

What are the most useful resources that aren't listed on that page? Do you suggest other sections? I'm thinking of:
- Creating subsections for 4x4 and 5x5
- Creating a section for most useful Youtube Videos
- Creating section for best tutorials (for methods, etc.)

Things like these threads would be useful to include in the 4x4 section, for example:
Force OLL Skip with Parity:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/18jkz15qtbjxtqu/Parity-1.pdf?dl=0

Yau Last 2/3 wedges algs:
https://www.speedsolving.com/threads/special-yau-last-2-3-dedges-algorithms.38421/

Or this for virtual solving:
https://speedcube.site/solve/3x3

Can you guys help suggest more resources and/or sections to include?

Lastly, I want to create an introduction page to speedsolving.com for new users to learn how to solve and progress. A page that introduces cubing, basic methods overview for 3x3, and resources to get started and participate in the community. Do you guys have any recommendations on what to include on this page? What is the best 3x3 tutorial for beginners?
