csTimer released

[CodingCuber]

Everybody should be aware that there is a chance that csTimer will go offline for the foreseeable future in 22 days. The repository has not been maintained since May 2020 and the cstimer.net domain is set to expire on March 12th. If you have not already made a backup of your sessions, I would recommend doing so (it should still be possible to recover but better be safe than sorry).

How do you make a backup? I have some good solves/scrambles that I want to save.

What timer would you recommend switching to? Do any others have that many different puzzle scrambles?

cubingtimer.com is a duplicate website i use at school because cstimer.net doesn't load on school chromebook. I don't know how to see when it expires, so if anyone can please tell me.

csTimer.org appears to be a duplicate of csTimer.net, but the .org domain is currently scheduled to expire less than a month after the .net one, 6 April vs 12 March.
Either one could still be renewed in time, tho. Just have to wait and see.

Cstimer is legendary. I hope the site remains active.

I hope they remain active too, I have 152 individual Cstimer files that have been saved over the past 2 years I have used it.

I also use Cube desk, it's a great website and although it does not have as many options as cstimer you can add some

 

[CodingCuber]

Wait actually?

Yes actually:
Last commit was over 2 years ago

Again, we can't be certain about the future of csTimer but it is better to be prepared just in case. Let's hope the domain is renewed and the tool will remain online.

Can any others convert files back and forth with CStimer?

 

[CodingCuber]

Can any others convert files back and forth with CStimer?

Yes, CubeDesk can and many others can as well. On iOS, I can recommend CubeTime and on desktop CubeDesk and Cubeast are good.

I'm maintaining cstimer.org on my own expense and for the benefit of the community. It's not mine, but it's fully GPL3 compliant.

You should transfer your cstimer data to cubedesk

if only they could refactor the codebase now because it's borderline impossible to understand
