I got hypnotized by the mempool and accidentally built a thing

I've been running my own umbrel node and staring at the mempool way too much. And it was not really funny. At some point my brain... "What if every transaction was a vehicle on a highway? Small ones are bikes, big ones are trucks etc, etc

The result is TxRush – a real-time mempool visualizer where BTC transactions drive across your screen as vehicles. The bigger the amount, the bigger the ride. Actually not a bad way to learn a thing or two about Bitcoin

It's a side project, it's free, no signups, no ads, no tracking. Just mempool traffic as a highway.

Works on mobile and desktop. Oh and there's a live BTC price with a 24h chart for all you 3am price checkers out there

Roast it, love it, ignore it – I had fun building it either way.
