I'm rather new to k8s and I'm a little confused what this does. Is it an alternative to the k8s Dashboard?

It uses your kubectl config, spins up a local webserver and gives you a web-based UI to a lot of the kubectl status interrogation functionality. Read-only, but quite useful, with a nice Clarity-based Angular UI.

I stumbled upon it looking at examples of projects that use Clarity. I'm sure it only had 80 stars or so less than a month ago!

I like the "Resource Viewer" feature which is easy to visualize the resources. Too bad that it is read-only which is fine if you are trying to make changes.

It's supposed to be run locally. See also my small write-up on Kubernetes web UIs in 2019: https://srcco.de/posts/kubernetes-web-uis-in-2019.html
