@lukechampine yes painful 😆, certainly a good bit of boilerplate, a little bit of application code, but almost 100% of the LOC is actually from the package-lock.json file lol:

what if we kept the UI code in a separate repo? It would complicate the build a little, but I see some compelling advantages: the UI would become optional (e.g. for exchanges, or power users, or people who want maximum security), and you'd be free to develop the UI rapidly without cluttering backend development.
