So it’s a new tool that will have some starting teething issues, as they do, and you expect people to pay for this right away?

Apart from that you can’t even manage to post this in the right section, that or you did it on purpose and I’m not sure which version is worse.

Thanks, it was an honest mistake! I wasn’t sure what’s the best place.

@Giddy_McFee Feel free to use the free trial period, if it’s indeed not useful, I’d love to hear feedback!  
I’ve created this tool for myself, and figured it might be useful for others as well.

Apologies for the wrong post, I’m not much of a forum visitor, it was done without harmful intention.

I’d love to hear feedback after a trial period, I believe in the value this product gives, and I urge you to take a shot 🙂 - Open to hear your thoughts!

So, other people have brought up some good points, but I didn’t want you to get discouraged. So, I hope you can fix some of the criticisms and make a few iskies from your efforts.

And if you find you can’t sell it, give it away and ask for donations. Can’t tell you that you’ll make a lot, but a percentage of users will kick some isk your way.

Thanks for your kind words!

I’m not discouraged at all.  
It’s very rare that a new product hits all the right notes and gets instant adoption.  
it’s amazing when it happens, but it’s far from the norm.

I’m already thinking of some improvements, mostly in three areas:

1. A free (for life) tier,
2. Some form of premium system.
3. Better documentation, if possible a demo mode would be amazing.

In any case I’m grateful for the opportunity to give back to the community, I’ve learned software development through EVE Online many years ago, seems only fitting to use that skill back.

Thanks!  
It’s written in node/typescript, with mongo for persistence.  
I’ve been thinking a while now about making it open source, I’m still thinking though.

Self hosting shouldn’t be a problem once I’m open to open-sourcing it, writing an integration guide should be simple (I’ll just probably need to containerize it)

In that case I’d really _really_ appreciate open source as, minus mongo, that’s my preferred setup. Anything I can find to learn from to accelerate development of my own doodads is much appreciated.

The trial account is (was) limited to characters only, without corporations.  
I’ve just changed that to include corporations, it should update your stats within 10-20 minutes.
