A website to help cubers find cubes

[GAN Lover]

Hello speedcubers!
A few hours ago, I had an idea on creating a website to help cubers choose cubes. I’ve saw a lot of helping posts for what cubes to buy on the forum, and why not create a website that contains information of cubes?

Main idea:
A cube has these variables:
type(3x3, etc)
name(Tornado V3 pioneer version, etc)
brand(Qiyi, etc)
price
adjustable spring strength (True, False)
loosest spring setting (from loose to tight)
tightest spring setting(from loose to tight)
maglev(True, False)
magnetic(True, False)
adjustable magnet(True, False)
weakest magnet setting(from weak to strong)
strongest magnet setting(from weak to strong)
corner-core magnets (True, false)
speed(slow to fast)
corner-cutting(easy to hard)
feel(buttery, crunchy, etc)

There is more, but I’m exhausted.

You can also add cubes that are not on the list, or add your own thoughts on any cubes. We will take averages of everyone’s thoughts.

Pros:
Easy to find a specific cube
Build by speedcubers worldwide
Cons:
Website is hard to deal with
Some variables are hard to determine

Thank you for reading!

I made a cubeslist feature on SpeedTimer, although it is extremely outdated and the timer is dead, the ratings were from a panel of cubers, including a sub 8 cuber

SpeedTimer

speedtimer01.netlify.app

site might not work

I coded a website before, but it was never finished.

It’s good, but I think it will be better if every cubers can share there own thoughts. You know, everyone’s feeling is different.

I think what you can do is make a database with Microsoft Access or SQL and put all the cubes with their descriptions and features, then link it with your website.

And the website can query the database to find suitable matches.

And I suppose that everyone can edit?

I’ve stopped working on the timer now unfortunately, just wanted to share what I did

Sadly I’m not familiar in that. Does it need money? You see, I’m just a teenager.

No it will be free but involves Back End coding, if I had the time I would set something up with firebase for people to review and rate cubes, with global info And rankings, but no idea if there would be enough people using that for it ti be worth my time

I don't know much about websites, but if you want to work on coding, Python is a good language to learn
its simple and fun to use
