    I made my own tool to parse Jack Cai’s sheets and create flashcards for the algorithms. I even made it generate the algorithms that Jack Cai marked as “inverse of …” by inverting said algorithm.

    Nice! Will you publish your tool?

    I learned OP/M2, and managed some 4-5minute solves. Even though I understand commutator and most 3style algs, it’s too much algs for me.

    Keep us posted on your progress!

      Nice! Will you publish your tool?

      Probably! But I’m still trying to figure out how to organize it all. I also discovered more algorithm sheets (probably should have started by doing that research before parsing Jack Cai’s sheet). I’m trying to make it as general purpose as possible and also trying not to confuse myself while learning.

      Also it’s hard to reason about the best way to learn when I don’t know much yet (which leads to me implementing some interesting YAGNI), but I’ll update the tool as I go and maybe when I’m done/happy enough I’ll publish it. It’s all in Python though (to deal with the sheets via Pandas) and I think it’s not ideal because most cubers prefer online webapps AFAIK.
