what is the goal of this project and how it differs from gnoscan? #1

It's a genuine question: why do we need to spend time on this tool today? What makes Gnoscan not the best option to improve before developing a competitor? I believe this should be outlined in a README.

The goal of this project is to provide an easy "glance" UI for a Gno node cluster, something that's currently not possible with Gnoscan (you'd need to run X gnoscan instances for X nodes, and would still not get the data that this tool aggregates).

It's meant to be used for local cluster development, but also remote cluster management -- you can easily spin up a cluster and a gnostats agent that feeds into a public dashboard, similar to a public Grafana dashboard

Check this Ethereum instance to get the idea of what the tool does

Thanks, I have a few questions:

Did you ask @gnolang/onbloc team if they would consider improving Gnoscan? It may be in their interest to have the best tool in the space.
How urgent is our need for this now rather than later? I might not fully understand, but I feel we don't need it immediately. Could you provide more insight on who will use it and how?
How essential is it for us to have this as an official tool rather than as a community-driven package from Gnoverse? It seems like a nice-to-have tool that we could expect the community to develop, possibly with a bounty.
