by AppMunchies

The 5 App Munchies you watched most in October. Every one was built with AI. #1 An overengineered Rubik's Cube solver One stepper motor turns five faces through a servo-shifted gearbox; the cube is never reoriented. Scans, computes and solves in about 30 seconds. By Eldho Biju (u/Certain-Election5733).
