Description
The development of this block explorer is quite firm, we have a stable old-fashioned explorer.
The current project is in php and uses the cakephp framework, particularly indicated for small projects [see a comparison](https://www.educba.com/laravel-vs-cakephp/.)
Actual de facto standard for medium-large web apps for the backend is laravel, which also provides integration with main frontend frameworks, including vuejs. Is also good to have websocket instead of ajax for runtime update without page refresh.
I believe that the block explorer is a fundamental service for a cryptocurrency, I think we should have a new explorer: mobile first, super detailed (able to provide statistics even to the most hungry nerd), which exposes api to allow third-party software development, able to offer new services.
Below a list of juicy things to have in a new explorer:
* More stats about blockchain and its network, lbry upper layer network:
- chain size / block size / txs in blocks
- chain difficulty / hashrate
- top supported content / tip-support stats
- claims stats
- blockchain network visualization on map
- lbry-sdk network visualization on map
- mining stat / pool hashrate / mining profit
- lcb price / comparison with other stats
- {suggest more}
* More services:
- Email/telegram alert when blockchain see an input (output) tx to (from) an address in a "watch list" customized by the user [auth zone]
- broadcast signed tx, useful for users who use a cold wallet (offline) to store lbc
- address alias, in order to allow identification of pool addresses, explorer addresses etc.. [can be both general alias and user customized alias: auth zone]
- {suggest more}
I created a repo in which I am developing a new explorer based on laravel, I'm still porting the functionality of the current explorer, but the classic "blockchain" part is ready.
I would like some feedback on what I have already developed, if you like it, if something could be better, if I have to continue or abandon the development, if there is a possibility that the project will be included under github lbryio organization.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked LBRYEXPLORER repository and the existing block explorer to determine which proposed capability, if any, is in scope. The issue lists many statistics, alerts, aliases, transaction broadcasting, and visualizations but does not define a single deliverable or acceptance criteria.
