I was unaware of the hashtags, but I'm in! Just joined #RubiksCube and #speedcubing tags.
I've just started translating the book concerning Rubik's cube tactile version. You can find more information on https://tactilecuber.com - the author is Paul Martz, a 62-years-old blind man who bought first cube in 1980 when he was still sighted. I'm born blind instead, and waited 34 years for a tactile-based resource about the cube. Till spring 2025 there wasn't any resource in English as well, before Paul published his book. Now, I'm going to translate it in Italian as well, to provide it to all #blind related associations around the country. I also have started sort of Italian written blog where I share my #cubing adventures. I also ping @nationsblind who I suppose are aware of Paul's efforts. And also @BPI Blind LGBT pride international association where I'm a member and would like to cooperate in concrete ways rather than talk and talk.PS wondering if there are Italian cubers here around #fediverse
mention @mastoblind group to make other blind folks aware.

@elettrona @nationsblind @BPI @mastoblind I know how to do it with the simplest method, layer by layer.
I found amazing that this 80's piece of plastic is able to speak to teenagers and kids, like chess.
I was able to reduce my young nephew smartphone time with that !I'm curious about your tactile cube.
Amongst my cubes, I have an awesome variant called mirror cube, where there are no colour but the layers have different lengths and heights.
Same colour translate to same level, you have to go back to a standard Cube shape -

I guess a mirror cube (it's how it is called, usually it came with gold or silver sticker) can be a cheap substitute.
Sighted people buy it because unscrambled, on a table, it looks great
