Nice work 
look great...
I do have one question tough: i was looking up my own node:
https://lightblock.me/lightning-node/03301e633b25d769377bf75ce6b6ed2ec570270bc06c8c02bf33c5bd2aa47da098
It seems the stats are a bit off, my node has been running for way more than a month (iirc)

Thanks =)
The point regarding stats is a good one. We have launched the explorer around one month ago, so we have the data since that point only. Lightning network gives you a current state, it is up to you how you handle it further.
We have a separate task to accumulate the data before the launch and merge it into what we have already, so you will be able to have the complete history since inception.
Wait, so the stats don't update in real time then? Only when you update manually, or what exactly did you mean. Checked the explorer out and hey it's a first go so well done. Curious to learn how you might update, or verify changes made off chain. Like mocca's node, it should have updated when he closed channel or?
Stupid question here but explorer shows public nodes... How would a node be private and how does that look like?
No, currently it is not real time. In future we plan to implement a socket which will let you analyze in real time. The lightning network itself is being updated continuously, it is live.
The private node is the one which has chosen not to broadcast its IP outside. Actually, we will make a few tweaks to explicitly show whether the node is public or not, and show the closed channels as well.
Upd. Nodes GEO stats has been added: https://lightblock.me/lightning-network-stats/countries-chart
