Damn, that finished product looks insanely nice!
FYI there is code that implements it. What is missing is wiring up the UI to the back end (so for example when you click "send" it actually creates a transaction and transmits it). https://github.com/monero-project/monero-core

Hope this endeavor doesn't flop, I've read in a lot of places that it's pretty easy for alt coins to go to dust in a matter of seconds. I don't think this will happen with the support of the xmr community though 
You may wish to consider some discussion we had on this thread recently:
I'm surprised this thread has so many views and replies.
The reason is mostly consistent interest for 18 months. There are usually coins with more interest at any given time but they tend to burn out quickly.
However, regardless of what any of us say here you should do your own research and be skeptical of claims you read on the internet (or anywhere, but especially on the internet and especially on the internet related to cryptocurrencies).
Fully agree. Please dont jump and get hyped about any coin, because of some strangers in the internet. Take time and do plant of research and, before you start trowing many on any coin.
