New Cubing Resource Website

[ZNCuber]

Hello, Cubing Community! CubeisLife.com is now up and running! It has been over 8 month since this website has been created but the process of creating content has also been very slow. However, a lot has been put up now and the website look more like a finished product. As of now we have alg sets for the CFOP, Roux and ZZ methods with additional alg subsets for furthur improvement! We have many goals and future plans in mind for this website as shown below:
-Create dedicated section for 2x2</li>
-Create high quality tutorial videos for different puzzles</li>
-Create walkthrough solve videos</li>
-Create written guides for things like advanced cross and last 4 edges for Roux</li>
-Add a forum for which you guys can interact with one another</li>

Any suggestions for things that you would like to see are always welcome which you can leave in the comments below or send it via the contact form in the About page.

I'm not sure it's the best resource out there in its current state, but I think it could be useful.

BTW the last step of ZB is ZBLL, not OCLL and PLL.

90% sure you're looking at ZZ, I can't see any ZB part?

ZZ not ZB

Oops, my bad.

That's true but I am constantly creating new content for this site so stay tuned!

This page seems to have a few problems.
1) it says F2L pairs are used in ZZF2L but this is the exact opposite of what you should do as it is one of the most inefficent ways to do it and you should instead blockbuild the F2L as that is one of the main reasons for reducing to {R,U,L}.
2) This isn't really wrong but most ZZ solvers use COLL/EPLL rather than OCLL/PLL.
3) I think you disproportionately give CFOP credit for being easy to learn. While I would agree that it is easier than either of the other two methods, it is not so much easier that Roux or ZZ have comparitively "steep learning curve"s. I know of at least 1 person who learned it as a beginners method and a few more who can do passable to decent Roux but can't do F2L. The main reason most people use it is not because it is easier to learn but that it is a natural progression from the most people's beginner's.

Otherwise, the page seems to be developing nicely and from here I would advise you to (with regards to the methods), start giving explanations rather than descriptions because that's what a wiki's for.

So good luck, I can see this becoming a useful resource in the future if you continue to develop it.

Thanks for the great feedback! I can definitely agree with the points you made and I will make effort to add these information or correct it.

Hey, I completely agree with you as cubing sites are basically all made the same except I am going to change that. I am working hard on producing exclusive content that you would not find on a traditional site so stay tuned!
