since heâs already replying, I wanted to make one more point without editing. If we boil it all down to âunfair advantageâ⌠the key piece of it all, the part of the EULA weâre interpreting. Letâs just ignore everything else weâve debated on so far.
What makes something unfair? Is it the unavailability to all players? The fact that the game doesnât come with it? Both of these things are true for better graphics cards and larger monitors, both of which give you a distinct, HUGE advantage in using the EVE UI, and both of which have SIGNIFICANTLY higher points of entry than EveVision does.
EveVision is a single, free, open source EXE you click and run. It doesnât even need to be installed. It requires zero setup or configuration. Iâm even porting it to linux and mac to ensure those players have access to it too.
There isnât a single player in EVE that wonât be able to make use of this. So there is no unfair advantage, and even if there was, there are already existing things that have WAY larger advantages and are WAY less accessible.
If anything, EveVision is leveling the playing field, making it so you donât need to buy an ultrawide or a second monitor to keep up with those that did, in a game where nearly all the interaction is done through graphical interfaces. Itâs making things more fair.

Your point about it enabling people to bring multiple characters worth of data into a single screen, however, is a very valid one I had not previously considered. I can potentially make it so these third party sites can only ESI authorize the currently logged in character. I will talk to people and see what they think about that.

95% of EveVision already works natively in Wine AND most of EveVision can already be compiled to Linux/Mac natively. Thereâs just a bug we havenât figured out.

@Nicolai_Serkanner its pretty bad when i agree with everything youâve said.
@Jaydubs i most likely will not use it, maybe maybe not, but good luck with it, if it is still within CCP parameters

Well thereâs someone who evidently never heard of much less used OverwolfâŚwhich CCP itself recommended to itâs players when they removed the ingame browserâŚand it was pretty much the same thing as this evevision is nowâŚsoâŚyou knowâŚIâm gonna suspect this eveview is probably not a banâŚ
Petition it and please report back the result, @Lucas_Kell

I wanted to read something about how secure this tool is, but I cant find anything. Is nobody concerned about security when downloading stuff from internet, stuff where you can write your passwords in?

recreational developer spends time and energy making something cool like we havent seen since ig browser/eve central days.
Instead of community giving an o7 and thanks this entitled lot starts picking it apart.

Apparently if you support this, youâre a dirty nullbear alt.
Because âmuh EULAâ

This is a good point. I have 3 displays -including a 4k TV, which allows me to tile 4 clients at 1080p (I use Kuroro Luciferâs autohotkey script to position borderless windowed clients). So, I can multibox 5 clients at 1080p, and still have a display left over for 3rd party tools. This gives me an extreme advantage over anyone working from 1 display, and still a big advantage over people working from 2.
This tool helps level the playing field for those that donât have the space and/or cash for multiple large displays.
Also, rate my setup.

I tried it and the browser window that is build in is very restricted in what I can do in it. Doesnt even have an adress bar, search field, bookmark folder or next/back buttons. In that form I only used jukebox more than anything, but it doesnt have a repeat button too.

Yes, there isnât really a fully fledged browser as of yet. This is very much still beta software. You can navigate back/forward with the mouse buttons, though.
Most of the bugs have been ironed out now, so weâll be adding things like this over the coming weeks. What you see now is what Iâve accomplished in just a month.
Iâll ask Niedar to add a repeat button to the Jukebox - that was a community contribution!

I like this question!
Not only is the source code on GitHub, itâs also built entirely on GitHub. You can see the process happen live as I push code, and all the logs and artifacts from the builds are public too. For example, hereâs the build that made 1.6.1: https://github.com/evevision/evevision/actions/runs/90875164
Additionally, the commits require a valid GPG signature that is stored on a physical YubiKey so you know for sure that it came from me. Itâs near impossible for someone to hack my accounts and deploy malicious code. Itâll also be impossible for me to cry wolf and say I was hacked.
So, Iâve made it as difficult as possible for me (or anyone else!) to sneak any code in there without someone noticing and getting me permabanned by CCP. Itâs also technically a federal crime to do so.
This contrasts starkly to web apps where you canât really prove at all what theyâre doing with the data.
Now, regarding the security of the actual tool itself and the browser - it is based on Electron, which is the same technology Discord and a few other very popular applications use to make desktop applications with web software. What you are seeing is really just Chromium (open source Google Chrome) processes running in the background and having their frames piped into EVE. I donât have to worry about security because itâs handled by the Chromium team - I just have to keep my dependencies up to date. So, itâs as secure as your desktop browser.

I havenât been able to get this feature to work. Assuming you mean the regular left/right click, that is.
The mouse4/5 on the side of the mouse.
Thanks, will give it a try!
(I use an MMO mouse with 12 buttons on the side, so itâs likely defaulting to some combo I havenât discovered yet.)
