Hi all,
I would like to share one of my many side
projects where I spend some time thinking
about how to collect data on the lightning network
to see the evolution of the network, evaluate possible
solution proposals like channel jamming by seeing the
tangible impact on the network other than simulation
results and support
University Research that does not have access to real data.
The idea aims how to define and collect information
that can be shared later between people to evaluate ideas/proposals.
A more detailed idea is defined in [1], and an experimental
explorer is available at [2] other than exposing a public Graphql API [3].

With the hope that this will be useful for someone.
Vincent.
