The animated block visualization is a nice touch — most Bitcoin dashboards show static snapshots but the real information is in the flow. Watching blocks arrive and slide right is actually a more intuitive way to develop fee intuition than staring at a sat/vB table.
The peer management features (disconnect, ban from detail overlay) are underrated for people actually running nodes. Most node UIs bury this behind multiple menus or require CLI. Having it surface-level in a TUI means you can act on suspicious peer behavior in seconds rather than hunting through bitcoin-cli options.
The txindex=1 requirement for confirmed lookups is worth surfacing more prominently — it'll catch people who set this up on a pruned node wondering why search is broken. Maybe a subtle status indicator in the Search tab that shows whether txindex is available?
One missing piece for a 'complete' node dashboard: wallet UTXO view. I know that's a bigger lift and most serious node runners have separate wallet tooling, but being able to see UTXOs without leaving the TUI would make this a genuine all-in-one. Consider it a feature request for v2.
