... to do this post was still on my TODO list ... finally finding the time to react ...
HZ block explorerFor a long time I wanted to link to an official page about my asset - but there was none.
Everyone agreed it would be nice to have one page per asset in the block explorer, but
there was not enough time in the HZ team to build such an extension. I had suggested
"
just send me an example page, and I code that for you" - but I did not have a clear concept
what that would mean in the end: Tons of challenges, studying a huge amount of code,
and actually learning a new programming language - this time in 3 hours *lol*.
Trying to code without debugging - impossible. I need a running system. When thankfully,
pharesim opened the sourcecode, I installed it from github, solved all problems,
wrote a
manual how to ... and then I let the backend run. Which took more than a day to finish!
But now I have a working system to code extensions! -->
HZ B.E.E.f.A = HZ Block Explorer Extension for AssetsAll in all ~35 hours of work later, I successfully finished coding & debugging - my first time ever in PHP!
You can read my proud announcement (
4 consecutive postings),
my happiness about the tips I received,
and -YIEHAH-
pharesims announcement, that it got
merged into the official version now (github pull request).
My elaborate
documentation of the whole endeavour is in this github README.
(Actually, why I was on it anyways, I could also fix an
old bug in the block explorer, zero balance when RS.)
You can discuss my suggestion, an
"asset warnings" function - in this horizon forum thread.
Now that it is merged, this is how it looks- a dedicated page for each of the 149 assets:

Thanks for merging my code. I am intrigued that you could already realize my "from the future" idea
showing the "Number of Transfers" (see my
sourcecode lines 117-123). I had not expected that it would work
already, because the current HZ API does not tell us the number of transfers. But the B.E. knows more :-)
TL;DR:
My block explorer extension is online!
A page like this one exists for all assets now!
Try it out, perhaps by using that page to tell us about your favorite HZ asset?
