Alpaca is your trusty blockchain tour guide, guiding you through Starknet network. Inspired by Ganache UI, Alpaca spins up a local Devnet instance, which is invaluable for testing smart contracts in a development environment.
Alpaca's goal is to provide the same user-friendly interface and feature set similar to Ganache UI, such as managing accounts, inspecting transactions, and simulating various network conditions, but also can expand on that with features like as L2←→L1 simulations.

P.S. Proper error messages are yet to come, so make sure your port isn't occupied when launching.
alpaca-addon is what really makes this possible. It is an npm package and can be used in any other project. Under the hood it spins up starknet-devnet-rs.

That was a pet project at the beginning in which I poured my soul, but I hope it can evolve in something more.
I'm not a front-end dev so don't judge me real hard here :). And to be honest I realised that "Reacting" & "CSSing" isn't my thing really, but I know there are much better and more passionate people about this in community. All suggestions and contributions are always welcome.
Want to express my gratitude for Starknet Foundation. STRK allocation was really a life-changing moment for me and also a trigger to finally publish this.
UI is very raw and has only fraction of Ganache-UI functionality.
