Note to the site author: Using Chrome's translate tool seems to break your UI. Upon first visit, I was prompted to translate from Portuguese to English and accepted. Subsequent visits required I click the "Translate this page" button on the right side of the URL bar. (Edit: Chrome 1490.7827.201 on Windows 10).

When translated, clicking the Solver drop-down (default 3x3x3) displays:

Unexpected error

Does it effectively achieve God's Algorithm (minimum theoretically possible sequence of moves to solve each position)?

God's algorithm is not computationally feasible on consumer hardware so I'd assume not although there are many algorithms that can get pretty close (either matching or 1-2 moves off the optimal solution) which are much faster to solve. If you're curious, look up Cube Explorer which is an app that's built for this.

HN hitting new lows when slop like this makes it on my feed. This is neither original nor inspiring. Props on the umpteenth Rubik’s cube solver, I guess.
