feat(gui): v0 GUI concepts — Setup + Overview (WIP)

[Noyi-24-7]

Summary

I’m designing a minimal, friendly desktop-first GUI for Floresta (v0), with a consistent state system and clear mapping to what Floresta currently exposes (sync, peers, services like Electrum/RPC/Metrics, watch-only wallet index, logs/settings).

This issue is the hub for the initial GUI concepts + review.

What’s already designed (Figma frames)

Setup Wizard (First Run)

• Frame 01 — Setup (Network): FIGMA_LINK_FRAME_01
• Frame 02 — Setup (Storage): FIGMA_LINK_FRAME_02
• Frame 03 — Setup (Fast Start): FIGMA_LINK_FRAME_03
• Frame 04 — Setup (Services): FIGMA_LINK_FRAME_04
• Frame 05 — Setup (Review): FIGMA_LINK_FRAME_05

Home

• Frame 06 — Overview Page: FIGMA_LINK_FRAME_06

(Images attached in the issue for quick review.)

Design goals

• Desktop-first layout (sidebar + top status bar) that is still responsive when resized.
• Clear, friendly language for users who don’t understand node jargon yet.
• A consistent state system across some screens:
  • READY / LOADING / EMPTY / ERROR / LOCKED
• “Locked” states explain why (e.g., RPC is OFF → console is locked) and link to the fix (Settings).

---

What I need feedback on (Concept + Approach)

1. Does this v0 scope match Floresta’s current reality (florestad + services)?
2. Are the terms OK (“Fast Start”, “Backfill”, “Watch-only wallet index”, “Metrics”)?
3. Any preference on:
   • RPC being off by default always?
   • Metrics (Prometheus) being surfaced in v0 or later?
4. Any important missing v0 capability I should reflect in UI?

---

Next steps (after this is approved)

If the direction looks correct, I’ll continue with the remaining v0 screens as separate issues:

• Sync, Peers, Wallet (watch-only), Services (with quick call + endpoints), RPC Console, Electrum Console, Logs, Settings, Help.
