Description

Every 5k blocks the db is flushed to disk. This can take a long time and users just think the indexing has stopped. Showing some type of progress in the status bar could help with this.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how to add a spinner or progress bar in the status bar that updates during database write operations (every 5k blocks). Look into existing progress reporting patterns in the codebase, possibly using tokio or std::sync to report progress from the flushing thread to the UI thread.
