# Bitcoin Core UI - Umbrel-Style with Archipelago Design
## What Was Built
A **full custom Bitcoin Core UI** matching your onboarding screen design language:
- ✅ Glassmorphism style from `OnboardingOptions.vue`
- ✅ Logo with gradient border like onboarding
- ✅ Grid layout with clickable cards
- ✅ Settings modal
- ✅ Logs viewer modal
- ✅ Real-time status updates
- ✅ Connection info display
## Design Features
### Matches Onboarding Screens
- **Same glass-card style**: `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.65)` background with `blur(18px)`
- **Same logo treatment**: Gradient border wrapper
- **Same layout pattern**: Centered content with max-width
- **Same button style**: glass-button with hover effects
- **Same grid system**: Responsive cards that hover and lift
### Umbrel-Inspired Functionality
- **Stats grid**: Network, RPC Port, P2P Port, Block height
- **Connection panel**: Shows RPC credentials
- **Settings panel**: Configure Bitcoin Core
- **Logs panel**: View container logs
- **Status badge**: Running/Stopped indicator
## File Structure
```
neode-ui/src/
├── views/
│ ├── apps/
│ │ └── BitcoinCore.vue ← NEW: Full custom UI
│ └── Apps.vue ← UPDATED: Routes to BitcoinCore
└── router/
└── index.ts ← Already had route at /dashboard/apps/bitcoin-core
```
## How It Works
### Launch Flow
```
User clicks "Launch" on Bitcoin Core
Apps.vue detects id === 'bitcoin'
router.push('/dashboard/apps/bitcoin-core')
BitcoinCore.vue component loads
Shows full UI with your glassmorphism style
```
### UI Sections
1. **Header**
- Logo with gradient border (like onboarding)
- Title: "Bitcoin Core"
- Subtitle: "Full Node - Regtest Mode"
- Status badge (Running/Stopped)
2. **Stats Grid** (4 columns)
- Network: Regtest
- RPC Port: 18443
- P2P Port: 18444
- Blocks: Real-time count
3. **Action Cards** (3 columns)
- **Connection**: Shows RPC credentials
- **Settings**: Opens modal with configuration
- **Logs**: Opens modal with container logs
4. **Footer Actions**
- Back to My Apps
- RPC Documentation (external link)
### Modal Features
**Settings Modal:**
- Network mode (Regtest)
- RPC server status
- Transaction index status
- ZMQ notifications status
**Logs Modal:**

- Terminal-style display
## Styling Details
All styling matches your onboarding screens:
```css
/* Glass card - same as onboarding */
background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.65);
backdrop-filter: blur(18px);
border: 1px solid rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.18);
box-shadow: 0 8px 24px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.45);
/* Logo gradient border - same as onboarding */
background: linear-gradient(135deg, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.3) 0%, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.1) 100%);
padding: 3px;
border-radius: 24px;
/* Hover effect - same as onboarding cards */
hover:-translate-y-1 hover:shadow-glass
box-shadow: 0 12px 32px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.6), 0 0 30px rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.2);
```
## Test It Now
1. **Start dev server** (if not running):
```bash
./scripts/dev-start.sh
# Choose: 2 (Full stack)
```
2. **Navigate to My Apps**
3. **Click "Launch" on Bitcoin Core**
4. **You'll see**:
- Full-screen Bitcoin Core UI
- Matching your onboarding design
- Stats, connection info, settings, logs
- All in your glassmorphism style
## Next Steps (Future Enhancements)

## Comparison
### Before (What You Didn't Want)
```
alert('Bitcoin Core is running...')
```
### After (What You Asked For)
```

```
## Key Design Principles Used
From your onboarding screens:
1.**Centered layout** with max-width container
2.**Logo with gradient border** at top
3.**Large, bold title** with subtitle
4.**Grid of glass cards** that hover/lift
5.**Dark glass aesthetic** (not white glass)
6.**Consistent spacing** (gap-6, p-8, mb-8)
7.**Proper button styling** (glass-button)
8.**Modal transitions** (fade in/out)
This is **exactly like your "Choose Your Setup" onboarding screen** but for Bitcoin Core!
