Still get the stupid "try 1 month free trial" popups whenever I book a ride though, can't see how to turn those off.

Some of the chord charts are machine readable (available as just plain text), while others are images, but looks like all/almost all of them are available as MIDI as well.
This is only true for AMD cpus, on Intel xchg is 3 uops. Still better than the xor trick, though.

I have a basic case recognition feature, though no statistics are tracked there yet. I also have some code for tracking splits (only CFOP), though I haven't integrated it into the app for tracking stats.
csTimer has a ton of features too, but I've completely stopped using it, since CubingB has everything I need for basic timing and lots of improvements (like not losing session data, easily moving solves between sessions, partial scramble diagrams).
I haven't had much time to work on it lately, and there's limitations like only supporting Bluetooth on macOS and only one type of cube (the MoYu AI), but it's open source and works pretty well as a timer (both for smart cubes and regular cubes).
Pretty cool puzzle, reminds me of this: https://blog.plover.com/math/24-puzzle.html
The whole thing would be something like <ctrl-v>5jecs<esc>. Ctrl-v starts rectangular block mode, go down 5 lines and to the end of the word, change selection to "s", return to normal mode.
My solution is static and doesn't take any clues into account, so what you're saying just doesn't feel very relevant. The only "solution in general" to an arbitrary adversary, if you're not allowed to look at the clues it gives, is just to guess every single target word, which isn't very interesting.
Now, you could easily argue that the greedy strategy used by the site is suboptimal, and I'd agree, but AFAIK nobody's put up a site with a better one yet.
My solver's found about a thousand so far, here's a good one: "abyes choup donut dingo" (note that there are a number of 'fake' words allowed for guesses).
