Nym Node Checker - configuration health tool for node operators (or just me!)

Update #12

Development’s still moving fast, so here’s #12 close behind #11. This one’s more of a tidy-up pass than a headline feature - but the small stuff is what makes the day-to-day usable, so it matters.

Node identity, easy to grab

Every node’s full identity key now shows on its detail card, in every theme, with one click to copy. Before it was buried - only truncated in the Nymesis table - so if you wanted it you couldn’t get it. It’s handy for verifying a node or delegating from another wallet. Worth noting: staking here delegates by node id, not identity, so you don’t need the key to stake from the checker - but a lot of people wanted it visible, so now it is, and it’s highlighted rather than blending in.

Deep links everywhere

The address bar now follows what you’re looking at. A search puts your query in the URL; opening a node puts the node there. So you can share a link straight to a node or a search, or reload without losing your place, and back/forward behave. The old node deep-links still work.

Works on the phone

Fixed the header spilling off-screen and the whole page drifting sideways on narrow screens. The Nymesis explorer is 18 columns wide, so on mobile that table scrolls sideways on its own - that part’s expected, not a bug.

Small things that were quietly annoying

  • Scrolling inside a dialog no longer scrolls the page behind it - in every theme.
  • The Nymesis theme no longer occasionally falls back to the plain list layout and gets stuck there.
  • Stake and reward figures refresh on their own now, no manual reload to see a change.
  • Search still finds a node when you type its name in the wrong keyboard layout (Cyrillic when you meant Latin) - and that now works in the Nymesis theme too, not just light/dark.

Updates show up right away

The page isn’t cached aggressively anymore, so when something ships you get it on the next load instead of hours later. If you’re looking at an older copy, one hard refresh sorts it.

Thanks

Same as last time - most of this is operators poking at it and saying what felt off, right down to “the identity key blends in.” Keep it coming, and thanks to the Nym team for the APIs underneath.
