Here's an easy first project for a new bitcoin dev: make a "server explorer" for the various types of servers in bitcoin

Electrum servers, lightning nodes, and bitcoin nodes are all common servers that wallets and exchanges interact with. Lightning explorers are already very common (e.g. https://mempool.space/lightning), and this electrum server explorer already exists: https://1209k.com/bitcoin-eye/ele.php?chain=btc

But it isn't very pretty, and I'm not aware of anything similar for exploring bitcoin nodes and their features. Someone should make one that is beautiful and fun!

What if I am looking for "just" the set of bitcoin nodes that support compact block filters? Or "just" the Libre Relay nodes? Or maybe I'm exploring electrum servers and "just" want to find the ones that support websockets. It would be neat to have a website that makes this easy!

I've heard of BRK: nostr:nprofile1qqsfw5dacngjlahye34krvgz7u0yghhjgk7gxzl5ptm9v6n2y3sn03sppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwdaehgu3wvfskuep0qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2ap0rxn0uh

To clarify, BRK is a server/service itself and an alternative to electrs/mempool.space (and also glassnode but out of context here) not an aggregator like super testnet is proposing

vibe code it in 10 sec 😅 😄
