Made this post on reddit but I thought it would be useful here as well.
About Me
Hi, I’m Alex. I’m a wormholer/industrialist and I’ve been playing eve since Feb 2020. When I discovered that thera exists I found it amazing for logistics. A few months go by and I notice that eve-scout has an API. Combined with that and the fustration of looking up the table only to realise the hole was going to die in an hour, I threw together some 100 line bot that would ping just one channel should a connection to Solitude (where I lived at the time) opened up.
It turned out that the bot was quite popular with my corpmates and I was quite happy with it. So I did what any reasonable dev would do and make it a soul sucking side project. After many changes and hours of debugging, I’m happy to release the use of it to anyone for free!
Features:
- Notification Subscription
- Subscribe to notifications in a channel or DM from the bot whenever a connection to a given region opens up
- As many regions as you want can be added
- Built-in route option
- Give you the closest connections from your source and destination systems
- Hauling Quotes
- Compares the best quotes from your favorite courier services
- PushX
- Red Frog
- Compares the best quotes from your favorite courier services
- Timezones
- Get the current eve time and times from around the world
Future Ideas:
- Proximity notifications to a certain system
Development is continuously ongoing and feature requests are always welcome!
Why am I offering it for free? I enjoy seeing my creations make someone else’s life easier. Sure I could charge for it but, for me especially, a fee is just a turn-off that would make me want to look elsewhere.
