Web explorer UI (read-only block explorer) #8

@Bortlesboat

Description

@Bortlesboat

Summary

Add a lightweight web UI at `/explorer` that lets users browse blocks, transactions, and addresses visually — powered entirely by the existing API endpoints.

Why

  • Demonstrates the API's capabilities visually
  • Useful for node operators who want a quick GUI
  • Differentiator: self-hosted block explorer in one pip install

Proposed approach

  • Single-page app served as static HTML (no build step)
  • Fetches data from the API's own endpoints
  • Dark theme matching the landing page
  • Search bar: paste a txid, block hash/height, or address

Pages

  • Block detail (header, tx list, stats)
  • Transaction detail (inputs, outputs, fee, size)
  • Address summary (balance, UTXOs)
  • Dashboard (latest blocks, mempool stats, fee chart)
