Improvements of hnsnetwork #10

Open randomlogin opened 10 months ago

randomlogin commented 10 months ago

Hello, I'm Alex, one of the creators of hnsnetwork block explorer and (very) sporadic contributor to the handshake codebase.

What we have built previously? hnsnetwork.com an independent (not using internal hsd DB, thus surviving when something happens to the most of the nodes) indexer/block explorer which is open source and has been running since 2021.

What will be implemented? What the grant will go for? There is a long list of potential improvements which cannot be done in just month and would require more funding, so we came up with a realistic list:

Completion details. The milestones will be done by the team from @handshake-labs (namely @randomlogin and @v-kabashnikov). We estimate that a month should suffice for all the points from the above.

Why it is important? Having an independent source of information is crucial (especially technical information), also I think it's the only working open source explorer.

Hi Alex! Great to have more block explorers with more features.

also I think it's the only working open source explorer

Just wanted to share a few more examples, so you can get some inspiration from them for your block explorer:

@handshake-enthusiast , thanks for the list, I didn't know some of them are open sourced. Though I think blockexplorer.com, hnscan.com and hnsxplorer.com do not work, at least for me.

@randomlogin indeed, those three block explorers seem to be not supported anymore. However, due to their open source nature someone else can get them up and running! If you want to take a look at them in the past you can use https://web.archive.org. E.g. see the links below:
