This tool is intended to be a simple, self-hosted explorer for the Bitcoin blockchain, driven by RPC calls to your own bitcoind node. This tool is easy to run but lacks features compared to full-fledged (stateful) explorers.

I built this tool because I wanted to use it myself. Whatever reasons one might have for running a full node (trustlessness, technical curiosity, etc) it's helpful to appreciate the "fullness" of a node. With this explorer, one can not only explore the blockchain (in the traditional sense of the term "explorer"), but also explore the capabilities of one's own node.
