This tool is intended to be a simple, stateless, 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.
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.
# Features
* List of recent blocks
* Browse blocks by height, in ascending or descending order
* View block details
* View transaction details, with navigation backward via spent outputs
* View transaction details, with navigation "backward" via spent transaction outputs

* Search to directly navigate to transactions or blocks
* Mempool summary, showing unconfirmed transaction counts by fee level
* RPC Browser to explore all of the RPC commands available from your node
