Tesseracts

A minimalistic block explorer initially created to learn rust.

This block explorer has been created as a rust self-learning project to give support to nou.network, a small beta PoA for social projects with nodes from university teachers (UPC, UAB, UOC, UdG, UIB), GuifiNet and members the White Hat Group.

Disclaimer

This is an experimental block explorer, my first attempt to write something in rust, and expect to find newbie rustacean antipatterns here. Nonetheless it seems that it works as expected.
