so, i'm writing the electrum-based block explorer myself now, mostly out of boredom (and also due to lack of volunteers).
the code is a major mess and still WIP (eg. no search box and no address handling so far), so consider this an early alpha preview.

PS: i know that i suck hard at writing javascript

That looks real nice! I throw my hat into the battle of the block explorers with my brand new super fast address balance
look up with transactions:

Hi Groko

It's nice to see someone who can still write HTML Wink  One can easily add a "smidge" of Javascript to that html that would "ask" for a new block every ~30 seconds or ~minute or what ever time period you like.  It could even be "done with AJAX". 

Where is the server getting its data from, might I ask?  Is it an "ABE" YACoin talking to a yacoin daemon on the server?

Thanks Ron! I'm glad you appreciate my simple HTML approach. My web page design skills
are a bit for wanting that is for sure. And I have never attempted to do anything using
JavaScript. But I'm planning on skipping that skill-set with Ruby Rails. My yacoin forum is
a Ruby Rails application.

As far as my data goes, it looks like you guessed it. My data is coming from a live
yacoind executable in server mode that I query using a yacoind executable in client mode
doing RPC calls to the server. It's pretty simple really. But g-damn it's fast. I added
address balance tracking that keeps up to the minute with every new block and responds to
a block chain reorganize. I have a new top 1000 list of addresses that is also kept up to
date on the fly. Check it out here: http://explore.grokonet.com/?top1000=1
