Wow, this was really fun to play around with! Amazing execution and launch!

Quick feedback: it’d be great if the page updated when the URL changes, so you can explore different positions without reloading.

Right now, if I change the URL/hash of the cube position (eg: incrementing by 1 https://everycube.alen.is/?view=3d#5319001606686939024 ), the app doesn’t update and I have to open the new URL in a separate tab to see the new position. [Chrome 150 on Mac OS X 10.15.7]

Reminds me of that time when, as an undergraduate, my "team" entered a Problem Solving Competition and couldn't choose one of the two problems so we did both in parallel.

One of us wrote a program in BASIC on a Tandy 1000 that the rest of us estimated would take more than a google years to finish, but he wasn't be dissuaded and let it run the whole weekend.

I made an analysis that was mostly correct but was off by a factor of four because I mistook a radius for a diameter.
