Community Made Cubing Website - Anyone Can Help

maybe an alg section where you could put in the search function R and U move heavy algs or something.

and i might be able to provide graphics if i cant find the time with school

I would help code some things in my free time. I don't know how much of a help I would be, but I could probably mess with the qqtimer script a little so it would add it to a box that you cannot edit (or even not see) and then have a submit button that would email the times to you. It seems complicated, but it really isn't.

I know some advanced HTML, somewhat advanced CSS, and advanced JavaScript. I would prefer not to do CSS work, as it's kind of boring, but I love JavaScript and HTML, so whatever works. Just PM me if you're interested in having me help, as I probably won't be checking up on this thread soon. I could also give you a rough copy of my schedule to show when (as in how much time each day) I would be able to work on this.

Just actually thought of this, but I can edit pictures and make some (quality graphics, it kind of depends)

Possibly different sections for most every different event, where there are different algs, methods, patterns, cubes, etc.?

oya, I bookmarked your website. Very excited to see how it turns out :)
 
Neat idea! My suggestion is not to see too big at the beggining, and add stuff over time.

I'd like to get involved in a project like this, as long as it's not too heavy for me... I don't really know how much of a help I could be... I know some HTML/CSS, learned some .NET, C# and C++ at school and just started looking at Python.

Nope. I wouldnt advertise a forum on the most popular forum... I dont get the point of making a forum when there already are plenty... Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Possibly, but I would want to get the 3x3 event running first. But if that turn out well, than there will definitely be more events.

Oh, ya, sorry. I just edited the post that I made like 4 months ago, and forgot to edit that part out. It's fixed now. But I'd love your help!

just a suggestion. how about a monthly speedcubing video contest?
Click to expand...

I was talking about this earlier, but not quite sure how it would work. Possibly the best tutorial or something by a noob youtuber? IDK, but I'll think about this. Thanks
 
Sorry for the double post, but I also wanted to bump the thread...
My first club meet is tomorrow, so I am focusing mostly on that right now, but I have some advice from my brother. He said we could use github.com. But I'm not quite sure how it works. Anyone know something about it? It's for open source programs/websites, I think
 
In addition to the weekly comps, I think you should make a monthly video competion where people from each level submit videos with their averages and the best one wins. To make sure that the vids were actually don during that week, you could require they add a passphrase (which you give out at the beginning of the month) at the start of the video so that we know it was at least done in the current month. This would be really cool to watch and would make cubing more fun.

Also, you could add a section where you keep all of the video tutorials in one place for each puzzle and method. This would be a major help as even Speedsolving doesn't have their tutorial section well organized. I would be willing to help organize this if you want.
 
I am going to start making a list of everyone who wants to join, and will update the OP (don't have time now), so look out for that. Also, the design stuff will be coded in css, since most people know that. But I really have no clue how to make all of my ideas work, and in what (programming) language. But I do have an idea for us to edit. Basically you download WordPress @ wordpress.org, and I make you a user and editor on cubists.org. From there, you can add posts, and more importantly, drafts. So the idea is that you each make a draft of a post (just to make it simple), and only edit your draft of the whole editing. I will try to save what everyone has, in case someone deletes everything. From there, I just take the ideas I like the best, and put them into the core edit. So just watch out, and tell me if you want to help! Thanks

I am probably going to do something similar to this, but I want to think about the core details first.

I also like this idea. Thanks. I think I said something like this earlier, so I'm gonna have multiple videos for each method/tutorial if I can.

I would suggest is to ask all of the big YouTube cubers to give a shout out to get people to notice.

Until there's something there that I would use or offers anything drastically different I wouldn't say anything about it. My advice for the current phase that this project is in: Just do it, don't wait for ideas to come in, don't see how many people will be interested, don't ask for other ideas to implement, just do it. Write it out, post it, you're done, move on to the next thing. If there was an interest in what you just made, great maintain it and foster a community. If you failed and ideas and plans fall through, don't worry no one noticed.

You put me in the mind of Paul Graham from YCombinator just now, and that's brilliant.

Really? Sorry that I sound like such an ***** on such a big (or so I think) project. Thanks you!

I think I said this in a PM about this thread (maybe not), but I am definitely going to get the 2 or 3 biggest ideas up and running before I add detail.

For the youtube thing, I was simply basing that on uploads. But Thrawst, would you give the site a shout out if it turns out well? Thx

EDIT: i-d-i-o-t shouldnt be *****
