Is there an actual method anyone has come up with for solving a 3x3 one side at a time? Because that would be hilarious...
Solving one side at a time?

I've made a method for solving one piece at a time, but there isn't a side-by-side method that I know of...

I'm not sure it would really be possible because after you solve one side, you'd have a ton of pieces that aren't in the right place. maybe if you made a layer first, then a layer on an adjacent side, then anlther adjacent side and so on, but it would be a really stupid method and after solving the 5th side obviously the 6th one solves itself

Just solving 4 sides is all it would take to solve the whole thing

I guess there could be a method for solving each side at a time but then there would be an OLL and PLL for all 6 sides since you aren't orienting them

Maybe:
Solve one side (unpermuted)
Solve opposite side (unpermuted)
permuted both layers
solve E layer.
Solve one side (unpermuted)
Solve opposite side (unpermuted)
permuted both layers
solve E layer.

Well I am sort of developing a system of classifying groups to easily(ish) get near optimal, if not optimal, solutions by doing each side

You reinvented OP/OP?
Versano is 3x3 method. It might be it.

sounds like a cooler version of Ortega for 3x3

Sounds sort of like an out of order Belt or an (Ortega/Versano)/Waterman hybrid.

I might need to try this out xD

I tried this out and its a pretty interesting solve. It would be interesting if someone more knowledgeable than I could explain how viable this would actually be as a speed solving method.
I did a non-permuted cross and F2L on D, then did OLL and PLL on U. Then did a z turn and started trying to solve the now M layer (formerly E in the earlier part of the solve). I was able to intuitively solve two edges and all 4 M layer centers but ended up with an edge parity at the end. Also it is possible to get OLL and PLL parities on the U face, not sure if the D face can get a PLL parity or not, it didn't happen in the 5 or so attempts I made.
Pretty fun to try out.

oops, well I meant after solving 5 sides because thats what I was suggesting so it would be solved after 4 XD

There exists at least one method where the forelast step is solving the U side without caring about the layer and the last one is correcting the layer. I even know some people who use it at comps. It's called CFOP, ever heard ?
Let's see… Something like this?
Scramble: R' D2 L2 R B L' U2 B U F2 U B2 R' F D' L' R' F'
R' D B' R2 x2 y' // 2x2x2
U' D' F U' D F' L' U L F2 U F' U' // first face
x L D R' F R D' L' F U' F' // second face
y x' F' R2 D2 F U F' U' D2 R' F R' // third face
x2 y r U R' U' r' U2 R U R U' R2 U2 R // opposite 2x2x2
x' y2 R' U R' U' F2 L' U' L U F2 R2 // last three faces
(I just threw Cube Explorer on the second and third faces, lol.) Not strictly face-by-face, but close enough, I think.
