Support for GAN Timer and other BT timers

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe if applicable.

The GAN Timer is a Bluetooth Rubik's cube timer that could conceivably be paired with CubeTime to allow for easier usage of the app. My brother uses the CubeTime app but finds that using an iPad/iPhone display as a stackmat is more difficult than using his GAN timer.

Describe the solution you'd like Support for the GAN Timer should be added to the CubeTime app.

Yes, agreed. How do they do that?

It can be done through the Core Bluetooth API; for the Gan Timer specifically the BLE states are pretty simple (see https://gist.github.com/afedotov/a025fa5796c9c727b04cf98b293a02f6 which describes the BLE protocol for the gan timer)

I would like to see the possibility of connecting bluetooth cubes.

Do you have steps of how to connect this? This did not help me that much…

It's a feature the developers need to add if you want to use it, hence it being on GitHub issues

This would be amazing. Please, developers. This is an amazing app, and this would make it even better, because I use my gan timer all the time.
