got a chance to catch up and it seems like he has it under control. He's using a very different set of technologies than I'm used to, so it's hard to see where there's a _lot_ of room for collaboration, BUT after seeing CT cube-building piece, AND mulling over Jason's request for a better way to build up a cube, I'm taking an initial shot with:
https://github.com/rdennis463/lambic *
(not a lot there yet aside from an important, but not necessarily splashy proof of process)
I was drinking a lambic at the time, Jason's in Belgium, it's a small number of syllables, and it's unused, so mise.
Sweet. Just to clarify, there's nothing really to see at that link right? All I see are some folders and a brief readme.

Right, no mock ups or deployed code to look at in action
As this seems to be the place where we're discussing CubeTutor:
I tried it out today and was very frustrated by the experience. It was very finicky in the way that it parsed .txt files, and would ignore any second copies of a card. I supposed you can add them manually, but then their cube editor really doesn't depict the cube in a way that is useful to me, so I would have to manage it in a text file anyways. Since they have a .txt reader, I could just upload that every time and not mess with their editor, but as mentioned, it ignores duplicates so every time there is the tedious work of having to add them manually. Bit of a Catch 22.
I'll be holding off of it for now. In its current implementation it's far less useful to me than TappedOut, deckstats or notepad.exe.

I'm struggling with Cubetutor myself, for pretty much the exact same reasons. Although it supports multiples, you have to add the cards one by one after the fact, because it eats them during the initial upload. The cube editor itself is a bit of a pain to use at the moment, as unlike with TappedOut or DeckStats, I can't just copy and paste a giant list into a textbox.
The project has a ton of potential, though, and the fact that the owner is pumping out updates in rapid succession has me optimistic. The ability to mock draft and have the AI "learn" about pick orders has me salivating.

Hey guys, just picked up on this thread, I'm the developer of Cube Tutor.
I'm sorry to hear that your initial experience was suboptimal but it's exactly these sort of issues that I need to hear about in order to make things better.
Duplicates & Bulk Upload are a tough one because I'm not mandating any format for how the list should be defined. All the Bulk Uploader does is look for card names in the file. Perhaps I could mandate a format for people who want to upload a list containing multiples? An option to upload by copy-pasting into a text box is a nice idea to consider too.
Anyway - not wishing to hijack Rob's thread with discussion of Cube Tutor here. I've created a new thread for that: http://riptidelab.com/forum/threads/introducing-cubetutor-com.93/
And Rob, great work on Cuesby. I definitely want to get into cross-cube comparison territory soon so would very much appreciate your advice when I get around to it.
