Hello @EzR3aL and thanks for the feedback.
Regarding the user interface, here are some clarifications and context that can help other readers too:
- The UI is already created and aside from small adaptations required for full production smart contracts, it is fully ready. That’s the reason we published on https://github.com/aave-dao/aave-umbrella-ui, with instructions for self-hosting if anybody wants to test it out.
- Hosting of that UI is technically a separate topic. The idea behind this is that we develop a system production-ready for anybody to run, no matter under which domain, and we maintain that base system.
- Being so easy to run means that we respect what we believe still is a foundational principle of DeFi that, when possible should be respected: a user should be able to run its blockchain node, its wallet, and its interface (of any kind) to access the applications deployed on the chain. This is frequently not an easy task (or even doable depending on the type of product) and not the average user target for Umbrella, but we think as a leader in the industry, Aave must keep producing products with this type of mentality.
- Another angle from where the UI gives value is that, as we created the smart contracts, it is just natural that we understand pretty well how to interact optimally with them. With that in mind, the UI codebase acts also as a pretty good example for others who want to build something interacting with Umbrella.
