You didn’t mention it in your post so I assume you have been applying to these positions online. I would try and work your network as much as possible here. With a decent resume, you’re almost guaranteed an interview if you get a referral.

I'm working on it. I recently redesigned the landing page and plan on adding more info soon. I don't work on CubeDesk full time so it's mostly after work or weekends when I can make improvements. I'd like to add a whole

Right, it's a hard problem to solve. A camera-based approach would be invasive, impractical, and really easily duped. But now we have bluetooth cubes. Bluetooth cubes still have a ways to go before they're physically good enough a

You're right, it's not really beginner friendly. I want to improve upon that in the coming months. But for now, there are tons of cubing-related resources online nowadays. For 99% of cubers, you want to focus on OLL and PLL algo

I have implemented an ELO system, but it's just running in the background right now with no UI component. I'm collecting data for now to see how I'll need to tweak the various params that go into ELO calculation. I'm g

I'll double check the large average calculation logic. Good question. I recently came out with a Pro version for CubeDesk which is mainly there for people who want to support development. You also get some minor stuff like additional t

I actually have plans of making some parts of the app accessible without having to log in. Since I started the app by saving data to the DB instead of the user’s device, this is more of a technical limitation than a choice that I’ve made. I

It can be used for any cube or event. The WCA ones are built-in but you can even add custom event types if you want.

I think cubing definitely has potential to become mainstream like chess has. Maybe I should try reaching out to chess streamers to share my app with their audience.

Thanks! Yup it’s all made with React and Sass. Didn’t use anything for designing it. Just mainly eyeballing

Well my problem isn’t really the storage, per se, but rather the management of it. I don’t really want to spend time and build my own UI for this. If for whatever reason I want to toggle has_seen_welcome_popup for a certain user, I don&#x27
