Making a Cube Timer Site--Ideas Needed!

[Het Mehta]

how are you meant import cstimer times to this timer as cstimer does txt files and not json files

You can just copy and paste from the CSTimer txt file and paste into the box and it should work, but let me know if it doesnt

Should be 1-4

Should be 0-4

Oh another thing
Have something that shows the best/worst times youve had in your session

Just added! I'll also be adding more averages to the dashboard session cards pretty soon

Approximately how soon do you think this will be ready?

My guess would be about two weeks to a month from now. Right now im getting lots of tester feedback on new features and bugs to fix so once thats been worked on it can be released more widely. The goal was to have it finished by now but theres still some things that need some work

I have the beta test of it and I think hes giving beta tests out.
It works pretty well but theres a bit missing but as he said it does really seem like 2 weeks to a month. It works great when I use it

I think it would be nice to be able to hold spacebar, and only when you let go does the timer start. Inspection mode is on.

Just added that in!

I would love to see the ability to time yourself live against other cubers but that's pretty ambitious so i would like to be able to have a place to record your times on different events.

A leaderboard would be awesome, but their will be the cheaters.
Maybe you can only go on the leaderboard of you have a video of you solving AND SCRAMBLING

Hey all,

I've a ton of changes and improvements to the timer, so a lot has changed. It's nearing a wide release, so it would be awesome to get some final feedback on everything before then.

Notable improvements include:
-Fixed scrambles
-Better mobile functionality
-Offline mode
-More cohesive UI

The offline mode in particular is one that would be good to be tested a bit more

Let me know how it's all looking!

something id like to see is easier switching sessions.
on the bottom it says what session youre in maybe you could have something where you could click it and it would bring down a drop down menu where you could switch sessions

Sounds like something that can implemented pretty soon. I think right now though, im looking to make sure every in the timer as of now works before adding anything else

If you're looking for some help on this, pm me. I'd love to get involved. I'm a software engineer by trade.

I think it needs a way to enter times with the number keys. I have a stackmat timer, was using it and thought "oh this should be on here"

Would you want the countdown/inspection time to run as well?

no.
Thanks for listening to everything everyone has to say.
(sorry for the late respond lol)

I know that a lot of people have mentioned all of this stuff already, but I thought I would make a complete list of all the features I'd love from a new timer website/app:
-Some way to login from multiple devices and have my times and sessions sync across devices
-A way to track times with multiple different cubes separately in the same session (If I were to practice using my backup main, I could choose to count those times separately without creating massive session clutter)
-Ability to make custom Ao/Mo stats, as well as averages of averages and such
-Mobile friendly (perhaps an app could come later after the website)
-customizable colors/background
-Stackmat connectivity (this might be really hard, so I'd settle for typing and spacebar)
-An easy way to export times into google sheets/excel for stats analysis

Can't think of anything else rn, will edit this reply if I do.

P.S. Thanks @Gen12 for doing this, I know it might be a lot with all of these requests/suggestions. Also, if you're still looking for beta testers, I would love to help, just my coding skills aren't great.
