Hi guys,
About a month ago I updated TimeYourCube.com and asked all of you for your opinion on it. I got some very good suggestions, and now I am ready with another update.
Your feedback last time was mainly that the site did not render properly on all mobile devices (especially on the iPad) and that a "WCA inspection mode" would be nice. To that end, I have improved rendering on mobile devices in general and added a WCA inspection mode, where penalties are automatically given for overinspecting according to WCA regulations. You can also manually add/remove penalties to all previous solves. In addition, you now have the option to see deleted solves and even undelete them if you want.
I urge you to check the site out and give me any feedback you have that could improve the site. I want this to be the best cube timer online!
You can check out the full changelog below.
Changelog
Version 2.1 (April 2015)
Version 2.0 (March 2015)
Version 1.0 (2012)
P.S. I am aware that the site does not render optimally on mobile phones in landscape modes. Any fix I implement to solve this, breaks the rendering on tablets. Is this an issue for you? If so, I could try to see if I can find other fixes for it that does not break the rendering on tablets.
