I’ve not tried it, but I’ve seen this video now [https://twitter.com/matt\_odell/status/1298365296064057350](https://twitter.com/matt_odell/status/1298365296064057350)  
I like it because it seems to build on top of existing software. I wanted to have something similar with [Nimble Grin stack](https://forum.grin.mw/t/nimble-grin-stack/7503) where you’d have an explorer and a wallet that connect to your node in the background. I’d support funding something similar when we thought the time was right. It could even start off as a single service e.g. wallet, and then expand this to explorer/dashboards and lightning in the future. Perhaps even DEX if it made sense.

Interesting project, I was waiting for others to share their experiences before trying it out. I might use it to setup my own lightning node plus block explorer.  
The blockchain explorer APP from Umbrella fits with my project of converting the blockchain to a graph database but unfortunately will not work since the Bitcoin core API it uses is too slow. They should have made it possible to use a per block index to speed things up. At least that is what I expect to be the reason why the API is so slow.
