I made a Cubing Timer (semi-functional)

I’ve been working on my own cubing timer, and it’s coming along nicely. It can start, stop, reset, and track solves — basically all the core functions you need. But there are still a couple of missing pieces: it doesn’t save your solves between sessions, and the CSV import feature doesn’t work yet. Here’s what it can do right now: Accurate start/stop Track solves in the current session Calculate averages like ao5 and ao12 Show PBs for the session Clean, simple interface Here’s what it can’t do yet: Save your solves to come back to later Import solves from a CSV file I should mention — I’m not a coder myself . I put this timer together by copying code from ChatGPT. Even so, it’s really satisfying to see something I helped "build" actually function like a real cubing timer. My plan is to gradually add the missing features so it can fully replace other timers, and I’ll post updates as I make improvements. For now, it’s semi-functional… but I’m already ...

First Post

 This is the start of a new cubing project I’ve wanted to do for a while. I created this blog to track my speedcubing progress in a way that’s more organized than scattered notes, random solve sessions, or a messy timer history. My goal here is simple: document what I’m working on, what’s improving, and what completely falls apart so I can learn from it. I’ll be using this blog to post things like: Weekly improvements (or failures…) Averages and PBs worth remembering Practice experiments and drills Algorithm sets I’m learning Competition prep and results Anything I discover that helps me get faster I’m treating this blog like a “time capsule” for my cubing journey — something I can look back on months later and see how my solves, methods, and mindset changed. There isn’t a strict schedule; I’ll post whenever I make progress, try something new, or find something worth sharing. The main idea is to create a place where improvement is visible, not just hidden in ...
