Implement paging for peers/channels

[prusnak]

Our node has 500+ channels and it takes quite some time to load the "Channels" page. It makes sense to implement some paging.

[djmelik]

Good idea. We should also add a search bar with a drop down so that we can select/view an individual peer.

[prusnak]

There is a module for this: https://flask-paginate.readthedocs.io/

Maybe it is an overkill and something similar to this is more than enough: http://flask.pocoo.org/snippets/44/

Great, mine just times out using it with the bitrefill node.

How about something like this instead? A lighter table view of all of the channels, we can also add some javascript to the table allowing us to sort/filter the rows. The idea would be to click/select an individual channel to bring up a more detailed view ie. /channels/<chan_id>.

I can push my local branch tomorrow when I'm done for you guys to test/evaluate.

Example of filtered/sorted table:

This looks awesome. Can you push a branch with these adjustments? Would love to try that out.

[juscamarena]

Awesome, would test it out here as well, /channels doesn't load at me at all, but I'm running it remotely with a node with 420+ channels
