Have come up with a new method, but want some input before publicing, and help how to publice.

[IngeniousCubing]

So, I have been making a method with my friend for mayby a year, that one is not finished yet, but at one point we were not completly on the same page about how the method should turn out. There for i started making my own at the side of our big project. And now I think I might actually have it. This method is not revolutinasing at all, but still I think it might be worth sharing it to the comunity. So i looked into how to post on List Of Methods. I just need some help with doing that, i have no idea how you gat such a good looking page and make it appear at list of methods. If anyone knows how to do that, please let me know. Now i will just give how the method works, so feel free to take a look and give input.

Step 1: This step is not named yet but what it is is basicly a EOCross-1+FR. what i mean by that is making a cross-1 were the empty cross slot is on the left side (rightside technicly works, but then you need to do the later algs lefty) but also having the FR edge in its place. You make that while doing EO.

Step 2: Basicly finishing f2l except the FRD corner. The left pairs we can solve using a ZZ like blockbuilding and for the right back pair we will get a nice f2l case.

Step 3: OL5C (orient last five corners). Just like it sounds you orient the U layer corners and the FRD corner. This is a algset of 21 algs if i have calcualted correctly.

Step 4: TTLL the final step of the method. Permutes the U layer and the FRD corner.

As far as my reshcearch have gone this seams like it is a new method, but its highly inspired by the Ribbon method, so let me know if it is to simmilar to be considered it s own method.

I would call this a simplified version of Ribbon with less algs. How/When would you solve the last cross peice, unless I am misunderstanding something. Lastly, I would say an improvement to this method would be to just use CLL +1 / ELL.

you solve the last pice turing the 2gen blockbuilding. second step

This isn't exactly new, sorry. It's a good idea, but it's simply not as fast as doing normal ZZ. I've attached a very similar "proposal" from 2020 (really just thinking out loud in a Discord server). In terms of ideas, the Wiki is very much out of date and is not at all comprehensive. A problem is that there's no defined difference between a method and a variant. For example, why are ZZ-A and ZZ-C only variants of ZZ, but CFCE is considered a different method to CFOP? Another related problem is that, due to the huge number of possible combinations of everything, it's really easy to come up with a new "method" by just throwing things together. So whilst you may have stumbled on a good idea, it's diffiicult to know what's been done before and what hasn't.

With that all said, that's not a bad idea, but keep on looking! Hopefully you'll stumble on something pretty great. Keep on engaging with the cube and the community and you may help to come up with the next big idea!

hey papasmurf I was thinking too help us all, (me included) know what ideas/methods are already out there, I was thinking of training an AI using https://webllm.mlc.ai/ to basically datascrape and summarize every method idea in the main method thread

That sounds like a terrible idea to put into practice given how niche cubing methodology is. Plus some things having multiple names and non clear distinctions

It would be cool if that worked, but it would be impractical at least. You'd have to trawl through lots of Discord messages too, which I don't think people would want.
