 Feedback coming from Ooo install as I get there.

 relays without it.

 Sure, Exit flag is a heuristic. So that means we need checkboxes for at
 least, and all of:
 - exit
 - non-exit
 - reject *:* (never-exit)

 And then you might be able to calc further and subtract bw of the first
 two from the latter mod 3hops and get idea of free bw in the core (mod 3
 and 6 hops, split and allocate by current exit:core ratio).
 That's more of a metrics thing, but needs Ooo to group the relays, so
 might as well add the groups to the UI.

 torstatus.all.de seems dead, though it may be me, or waiting on website
 push.

 > Onionoo requires historical information to be useful.  Also, it wouldn't
 learn stuff like sanitized bridge descriptors, BridgeDB's pool
 assignments, or exit lists from a local Tor process.

 Yes, some data at tpo is not accessible to third party instances, whether
 by policy or lack of API.
 The idea is for others install Tor, Ooo and the webUI, and start
 generating and publishing their own data (historical from their own 'day
 one'). The tool should display what it is able to collect locally, even if
 that means some block features (as you mention) are necessarily disabled.
