Yea I got 20+, plebstr shows most of them online. Now shows feed, mentions, but not my content

Hi, none of content seems to load for me. I see my relays, they are online but none of mine or others content loads. Android

Redesigning my favorite Lightning Network search engine for fun (hire me, please).

I'm sure many of you are familiar with 1ml.com. Here's a short list of issues I noticed with the website, and how I attempted to solve them.

1. Logo and Name

I noticed a discrepancy between the website and Twitter. On Twitter, they go by @LNstats, which stands for "Lightning Network statistics". This name seems much better to me than 1ML. I checked, and lightningstats.com is available. If this were a real client, I would propose a slow transition to new branding and domain.

2. Dark theme first, mobile first.

A dark theme doesn't have to be the default, but it should certainly be an option for all you night owls out there.

I used a compact UI to display as much information as possible without sacrificing clarity. The current website often wastes space, resulting in much more scrolling and disconnected parts with the same kind of information.

3. Node page

The node page was challenging since there's a lot of data to display. Channels contain a lot of information and values.

4. Search funtion was missing from pages other than home.

Feel free to click around the Prototype:

Would be awesome if the person behind 1ML could see this.
