Dynamic webpage designed for desktop-class screens with a fallback to a mobile layout

What does "fallback to a mobile layout" mean?

Smeshing Rewards
Main display: Total amount of Smesh minted as mining rewards as of the last known reward distribution event.
Circulation
Main display: Total number of Smesh coins in circulation. This is the total balances of all on-mesh accounts.

Aren't these basically the same thing? (Well, one is the other minus the premine amount, which I don't know if we want to advertise!) I think these can be collapsed into one.

Visual design

The axes are not labeled on any of the graphs. In particular it's unclear what the "x" axis is - are these all time? What unit of time? Is it interactive, or fixed?

Data

Real time updates from the mesh - update every 5 minutes.

Agree with @noamnelke as discussed on the call just now: polling is bad UX, especially for a "real time" application like a dashboard. We'll want realtime data over websockets or GRPC.

Decentralization

I propose that we use GINI coefficient for this (see also https://github.com/oliviaguest/gini), which measures inequality, but that we instead use it measure the opposite: equality in block production (for now, number of blocks, and in future, block weight). So we want 1 - $gini_coefficient where "wealth" for our purposes is number of blocks produced over some arbitrary past period, say, one week.

We may also want to factor in the total number of smeshers -- since a network with five smeshers, all producing the same number of blocks, is hardly "decentralized." Maybe take a weighted sum, and give each factor 50% weight for now?
