An open-source and free alternative for tracking Bitcoin metrics

[KhunSa]

Since BTC Frame is no longer free or open source, and because I always liked how friendly it was for displaying metrics, I decided to build my own open-source and free version for anyone who wants to take a look. I’m sharing it here: https://www.satoshidashboard.com . The idea is to create something useful for the community, something that can grow over time and keep adding value with more features, panels, and tools. If you have ideas or suggestions, I’d be happy to hear them.

I never used BitcoinFrame so i don't know what to say about that, but your SatoshiBoard website is looking very good.
It's nice that you included Fear & Greed metrics, but I think it's better to use other sources for BTC price, not just binance exchange.
I would also prefer to current fees based on mempool.space, and not average, that you are using currently.

Some other sites as good tools for Bitcoin users when they need to look at Bitcoin mempools for choosing a good fee rate for their transaction. These sites can help OP some ideas for developing his own site but he will likely need to run his Bitcoin full node if he does not rely on those sites that might have technical problems or lags anytime.

Thank you very much for the recommendation! Regarding the Bitcoin price, I will look into including prices from more exchanges. What do you think would be better letting each user choose their preferred exchange, or having a table with the most popular ones?

As for the BTC fees, the information used comes directly from mempool.space for modules 1, 4, and 5. It may have appeared in some source labels showing Zatobox+Johoe instead of mempool  that's a minor UX writing detail I overlooked and forgot to correct, so thanks for pointing it out. If you're looking for more accurate prices without rounding, module 6 provides detailed fee data, as it pulls the information directly from Johoe.

P.S. The app is being developed by the community, and every suggestion or contribution is welcome and appreciated. I'm not an expert in programming, but I will keep pushing myself to improve the product one step at a time, to contribute my small part to the community, completely free of charge.

Thank you very much for the website recommendations, I will keep them in mind. And you're right about the risks of depending on third-party projects, API calls, endpoints, or data from external sources that could have technical issues in the future. I hope to be able to address those problems little by little as the project grows.

Initially I created the project just for myself, but after sharing it with the SN community I saw that they really liked it, so right now I may not have the resources for a dedicated node for the project  but I hope to work toward that goal soon if the project turns out to be useful to people. Since the project is non-profit, it's a bit complex to solve that, haha, but I guess I'll figure something out along the way.

For now, part of the infrastructure is managed by me personally, which is why it sometimes has minor technical issues since it's not 100% cloud-based but we're getting there, one step at a time.

Beautiful project.

I found a bug in this screen: https://www.satoshidashboard.com/module/s04-bitcoin-mempool-fees
it isoverflowing vertically in XXL screen size (using 100% zoom, i need to zoom out to see all).

I think running your own full node and putting that data online is essential to achieve what you are trying to. Just mirroring won't take you far.

Once you have your own data in your server, not third party, you will have new ideas for some more creative dashboards.

satoshidashboard is beautiful, clean, and the service is good and free. Is it possible to enable the option to copy data? I cannot copy the data on page 1.
I can't move pages beyond page 3.

Add an option to share the page via X. I will share it.

I can understand about barriers from your side, likely financially and technically but I would still prefer to share some guides on how to run a Bitcoin full node for you. Just in case you need these guides for setting up and running your Bitcoin full node in the future, not only for this project but also for your better private experience with Bitcoin blockchain, your wallet, and your bitcoin transactions.
