Thanks for sharing, this is incredible!

Hello Nerius, I'm glad that this post has motivated you, that is the main purpose why I wrote this. As every other pet project, the fun part is the development, but the hard/boring part is to document and write a blog post for it :). I honestly wrote this to inspire other developers to do such things, it's real fun and you will learn something new. Please share when you build/develop something to inspire other people.

Inspirational post. I have seen a lot people give up on their pet projects after a certain time but you sir kept going despite the challenges you faced. Like you said you only learn when you face a problem or a hurdle. Thanks for sharing you experience.

If you're looking for ideas, maybe code a mode to make it work in reverse, as a Rubik's Cube Scrambler ;)

Thank you for documenting and sharing your journey on this project - it was a great read and you should be really proud of what you achieved :) I'd love to do something like this using yours as a guide.

Thank you for your support, I'm glad that you liked my story. If you have some idea or you need any help please let me know. Next weekend I'm invited on Rubik's cube solving tournament, maybe I can find some way to help them. A cube scrambler is a really nice idea :). Thanks.
