Aether

Aether is a CLI that reimagines how it is to develop using the flow blockchain. It is made after having 5 years of experience on developing on flow. I really wish I had aether when i particpated in OpenWorldBuilders back in 2020.

Since I have this experience and know how flow works i decided to help the community out with making a tool that suits my needs and also user needs. So if you have something you need show me a message. I am pretty friendly.

Aether allows the developer with 1 command to do what you almost always want to do when you want to develop on flow:
- it starts the emulator with sane defaults
- it creates the users you have defined in the deployment block on the emulator and give them some funds
- it deploys all contracts on emulator
- it starts the fcl dev wallet, and adds the users to dev-wallet so you can just use them
- it then optionally runs a list of init transactions so you can just start coding.
- aggregates all logs in a pane so you can see it and filter in it.
- starts your frontend for you if you want to

This was the start of Aether, then i added support for a mini indexer. It will read all the blocks and transactions and aggregate them in a nice table view so you can observe them.

I needed a way to run transactions so i added a pane where you can choose and run transactions.

I wanted to follow mainnet or testnet so i addes support for that.

I wanted to save a transaction on testnet/mainnet locally so i can run them with different premutations so that was implemented.
