I've been meaning to share this here, but I kept forgetting.
Thanks to @Phalentin for these video example solves, which will be very helpful to anyone wanting to see better APB solves in a video format.

Thats not APB
and wide ahh ZBLL alg

The 223 solution happens to solve EO, and then it's just BR pair canceled into LXS. I just used whatever cubedb suggested for the zbll, but it looks like that is the top alg on zbll explorer.

That is definitely APB. It has a 223, and a pretty good one at that, and it just so happens to solve EO, so it's sort of like skipping an F2L pair in CFOP. And the RB solution, if you actually follow along with a cube, it solves the BRpair, but instead of solving it back, it just goes right into solving the FRpair, and finally inserting the DR edge. There is nothing besides a few optimisations that make it any less APB, and even then, those are optimisations that you'd expect from high-level solvers in actual solves, so I don't really see why you'd think it's not APB. At best, you could call it Petrus, but APB is just an optimised Petrus. And any APB solve that skips EO can then be classified as Petrus, so what's the point in calling that out when the intent of the solver was APB, never Petrus. It's like the argument about some WR solves, like 3.47; it technically solved EO and can be considered a ZZ solve, but the intent of the solver was CFOP, so the solve is CFOP, not ZZ.

It's neat, and I managed to avoid any S moves, but I'm not really a fun of the method itself.

You made a mistake in the coll, it should be:

I recommend using https://alpha.twizzle.net, you just copy-paste the URL of your solution, the forum can deal with the rest.
