Hi everyone,
I discovered Gridcoin early this year, and since then I've been silently obsessed with the project. I'd like to show you all a project I've been working on in my spare time.
It seems a pretty popular setup to have gridcoinresearchd running on a Raspberry Pi, but checking in on my wallet via SSH got old pretty fast for me. This idea may have been done before, and I have seen deybacsi's TUI (which is pretty neat), but I couldn't resist giving this a try with my own hand. Therefore, I would like to present my web-based Gridcoin client!
More info can be found in the project's description, but essentially this is a node.js-based (Hapijs on the back-end and React/Semantic UI on the front-end) web server that you can run locally which communicates with a gridcoinresearchd daemon with RPC enabled. Let me be clear; I do not intend for this to be a replacement for the official client. It's just useful for some specific setups like mine. I'm welcome to suggestions, criticisms, feature requests, or really any comments. Let me know what you think!
Right now it's a view-only client, meaning you cannot send/lock/unlock/vote/etc, but I'm planning to implement this functionality after the RPC revamp comes out. Anyway, I hope some of you may find this useful or at least interesting!
Here's a screenshot of the main screen (Dashboard) to give you a feel for the interface:
Happy crunching!
