Site idea

[Zarxrax]

First off, I dunno if this would be feasible for here at the speedsolving forums, of if it might be better as a standalone site, but I had an idea that I thought would be pretty cool.

While going through the wiki trying to pick out OLL algs that I like, I was getting kind of annoyed because with the huge list of algs, I kept forgetting which one I had picked out for each case.
I guess the solution to this would be to make up a spreadsheet or something for myself, and list my chosen algs in it, but thats such a hassle.

So what I was thinking, is it would be really cool if there was a page that just listed all the cases, and I could write down my chosen algorithm beside each case and save it to my account.
The really awesome part is that I could now easily share my algs with someone else by just providing a link to the page.
Or if I wanted to see what kind of algs Faz or someone is using, I could just view his page!

Although I've pretty much chosen all my algs, this sounds like a good idea.

That would just be part of a user's profile, which to my best guess, each user in the user table has all of their profile information stored with it. Granted they could make separate tables for this, it just seems like (more than) a tid bit of extra work that might or might not get used that much. Don't forget that OLL = 57 cases, PLL = 21, then CMLL, or COLL, CLL for 2x2, EG0/1/2, etc. I've actually thought about a website idea that incorporates your idea, but still a bit different.

i thought of a website like that too. but with and interactive cube where you can change the color of certain pieces and it will find an alg, along with the store an alg feature

 

[Juju]

Another great feature would be to show how many people, and who use each alg for PLL and OLL etc, so that people can easily see the most popular ones.

I really like this idea, it would be awesome to have the algs you use in a section in your profile, I don't know if it would be har to implement but the idea is really useful.

Yeah this is a really good idea. And for each case, you could put up two algorithms, and allow other people to add their own, adding up to a huge selection of algorithms!

Should have Roux PLL cases.

This sounds really cool, actually. If it's ever implemented (either here or outside SS), I just hope it's not limited to OLL and PLL... *cough* COLL plz *cough*

No it isn't. I'm doing it for BH algs (~600 of them).

I saw you post in another thread about BH... so you're going to learn all the algs instead of learning comms?

Edit: Don't take that as a scornful comment- I don't even know a lot about commutators, and learning 600 algs for a BLD method would be far beyond me, so either one is impressive to me. I was just curious, because I assumed that for almost everyone, the second one would be a much smaller time investment.

It's like, Myanimelist, but for cubes :T

Your algs, your plan to learn algs, your accomplishments and PB's, ect, all into one account.

 

[Vinny]

I just printed out a diagram of all my algorithms... It took a long time, but it was really convenient for learning them and it looks nice hung up on my dresser, haha.

I support this

 

[ianography]

You could maybe do ZBLL. That would be cool.

 

[Julian]

I guess this would be a step up from typing all my algs into Notepad :3

Sorry, Its already been done

ZBF2L, too

I know about both of those, I mean just provide the algs on the website
