Description
Speedcube is an open-source platform for speedcubers featuring a Rubik's Cube solver, competition timer, algorithm library, and AI-assisted cube recognition directly in the browser.Built with React, TypeScript, Rust, and Python, the project aims to become an all-in-one platform for cubers—from beginners to competitive solvers.http://github.com/williamisnotdefined/rubiks-cube-solver/

Could you build this?
Partial A web frontend with a timer and cube visualization is trivial to vibe code, but an optimal Rubik's Cube solver (Kociemba's two-phase algorithm) in Rust compiled to WebAssembly requires deep algorithmic knowledge.
What it would actually take: The system relies on Kociemba's two-phase algorithm or IDA* search implemented in Rust and compiled to WebAssembly for sub-second solving, requiring precomputed pruning tables (tens of megabytes of move/pruning tables). Cube recognition via camera requires on-device computer vision models (YOLO/OpenCV in ONNX/WASM) tuned for color normalization under varying lighting conditions.
