Draft PR for a block explorer based on Nimbus, QT - can be used with a running Nimbus beacon node - communicates with the node via the standard REST API supported by multiple clients but can also perform its own computations using the same logic as the beacon node, thereby lowering the load on the node itself.

Wanted something to look at rpc data - not intended for merging really, more like a proof-of-concept for a more user-oriented tool in the future, perhaps with status-desktop

the code doesn't pass any quality standards, it's mainly a Sunday experiment to see if I still remember how to do it :) but it does put some stress on the RPC interface which is nice.

01 slots
02 blocks
03 peers
04 node
05 pools

Looks cool and I understand the purpose. But wouldn't this make more sense as a web ui? Maybe not if running in the desktop app...

I'm sure it would but I don't enjoy making web pages, hence they're not good Sunday project candidates. Besides, once we have a standard rest api, I expect more "standard" web ui's to appear, no need to saturate that market any more

also, it's trivial to take it from here to phones etc, ie qt runs pretty much everywhere

btw, not trying to invade your sunday project space, certainly a cool project 👍
