Hi Guys,
I have updated TimeYourCube.com to version 2.2.
This version of TimeYourCube addresses one of the most common request for the site: better scrambles. The site now utilizes the scrambles from the jsss project https://github.com/cubing/jsss. Specifically, the new scrambler uses a random state algorithm for the 3x3x3, which is a very much requested feature.
If you have any issues with the site or requested features, please let me know.
Happy speedsolving!

Changelog
Version 2.2 (December 2015)
- Changed the scramble engine to the ones in the jsss scramble suite found here https://github.com/cubing/jsss. These scrambles are of higher quality compared to the old ones and also add scambles for a few puzzles that wasn't supported before. In particular the scrambles for the Rubik's cube (3x3x3) is now a random state scrambler (instead of a random move scrambler).
- Added Skewb and Square-1 cubes
- Added two new plotting modes under Visualization: 'Daily solves' and 'Scatter plot'.
