Created a PR for 4x4 PLL parity (22 cases).
Let's make alternatives to speedcubedb and cubedb

GPT-4 shows some promise for analysing 3x3 solves, although it is currently not fine-tuneable. I think that we should make a database of solve critiqes, because it likely will gain that feature in the future. GPT-3 is also fine tuneable, however it is less advanced, but could still work.

thanks for the pull request!

the open source alg database now has a visualization for each alg (activate by pressing the play button next to the alg)

Cubeorama is just beautiful yo.

A few suggestions:
- adding a scramble box and play button in the recon tool.
- cross suggestions always solve white

A suggestion: make lists like speedcubedb

How I remember cubedb/speedcubedb (relatively new to cubing so not sure which is which) is it showed how it would solve a certain part of the cube. I don’t know if there are any web-based APIs that we could make requests to for an optimal solver to solve one position into another specific position, we could use that.

FYI the site is on a different repo than the database.
Some thoughts:
Maybe YAML is easier to human-write than JSON. I don't think you are writing it manually, right?
The website or the database should list HTM, STM (or even my wacky 1.5HTM). If this is included in the database, data integrity checks need to be in place.
The most important measure for an alg should be how many upvotes it has, so good algs are rewarded. Or you can manually set algs as good or bad.

I'm not sure if those exist. But maybe the algorithm database for better F2L/LL algs/solutions?

1. I chose to use json so the code would be easy to write. Javascript can handle json very easily, and yaml not so much
2. Thank you for the suggestion to add movecounts, I can definitely put it on my todo list. I can write a script that computes the movecounts
3. A voting system is a relatively complex feature, and I would consider it if enough people were interested

The algorithm trainer has setup algs. Does that cover what you had in mind?
If I'm understanding your question correctly, cubingapp has it but in a different area: cubingapp.com/train.html
Well I was just thinking for learning algs maybe there could be a setup alg above like this:
Excuse the really bad diagram, but above the algs would be the alg that would make the case, is that doable?

The best way to memorize and learn algs is the trainer
The algorithm database is meant to be a quick way to find any algorithm
Alright, thanks, I'll try it out. I'm just used to speedcubedb's layout lol.The best way to memorize and learn algs is the trainer

I was looking at Alg DB, and I think it might be useful to group algs in larger alg sets (and make it so you can see more cases at once so you don't have to scroll as far).
Putting a link on the alg sets to the trainer and vice versa might be good, too.
Thanks!
