Good Morning,
I noticed a reoccurrence of a “what the hell am I looking at” questions, so I thought I would write a full QA and run through the detailed features available to you should you wish to use the web site. As I mentioned before thank you for voting for me in the creator awards, I never expected or liked the idea of being public or anything like that, but to be able to say to people I won the first ever new developer of the year award is an amazing feeling so thank you for that.
So down to the capabilities and features.
Without any configuration, it simply spits out any incoming losses as fast as possible, I established a performative caching layer so I’ve seen the rendering numbers come up under 10ms which is quite nice. However if you want to look at monitoring places more closely on the left hand side you have a detailed filter.
Options are as clear as I could think possible. You can also monitor losses killed by a specific device, so if you are feeling like looking out for any stacked smartbombing praxis then its possible.
Second feature is
The schedule runs from 0001 UTC - so if you want to see all losses over 100 million since then, then press the button. I specific narrowed to filtering for hull classes only, I was considering going as specific as something like the actual ship name but I found that too specific, feel free to request otherwise.
Example outcome
Another element I added, this was purely an additive part - this takes the existing hotpath and constructs a scoreboard on the top 10 per hour, which refreshes every 60 seconds so you will see it change as you sit there.
Last chunk is an overlay plug in, very simple in nature where whatever character you are you can filter for kills and losses, saw we have a new wave of streamers doing a variety of things for the eve community so I thought it would be of value. An instructional site was made just recently.
Dex whats with all the green and non descript UI?
Well when I was a kid I loved the alien franchise, and the atmosphere and feel to the franchise fuses quite well with eve online, so I thought that was a pretty cool thing to do, turns out it looks pretty sweet? In the original iterations I did over commit a bit and the CSS gave me some indecipherable stuff, but it turned out quite nice, surprisingly difficult to find a balance between presentation and style.
Are you an idiot? Why did you do this when there is a perfectly capable killboards around?
Yes I anticipated these parts, when originally developing the concept the scope was to avoid long term archive related storage, so the site itself has no onboard database whatsoever so long term storage of any killmail was strictly banned as you would be stupid to try and directly compete against something that has more than a decade headstart.
I want to see a kill mail from 2 weeks ago, not really possible considering how fast the kill mails fly past?
I deliberately designed the URL for ease of use, at the moment the loss mails have the following URL’s - so simply swap out the number and you can see whatever KM you like, there may be some misfires from time to time but that’s purely based on ESI auth availability.
“https://socketkill.com/kill/136652036”
This is weird, why isn’t there any monetization parts to it?
I have spent a bit of time considering this, I felt if I was able to stabilize the site to a point where it can function on an affordable server combined with cloudflare free tier then why ask when you have the questions of cost of living and everything else going on, so I just left those parts out.
The background art is very sweet where did you get that from?
Background art on the main site is a collection of screenshots from Rixx, the killmails and stats sites are a collection of over 100 of Elo Georges magnificent water colour paintings, thank you to both of you for allowing me to utilize them to make it a bit more presentable and hiding my poor attempts and trying to do front end (yes I still hate it)
I am a front end dev and the visuals are pretty sweet whats it based on?
The front end element originally with vanilla JS, but I found as I continued to add and iterate the complexity because a bit overwhelming for one person, additionally there was just something missing, kinda felt a bit cheap? subsequently I converted to a combination of svelte and astro with tailwind to try and make the front end aesthetics a bit more appealing.
Guessing you are going to hit us all with a discord bot next?
No, there are 197 discord kill bots, no reason to add another that 4 people use out of courtesy, plus discord library is awful to work with so I would hate my life trying do do that, I have implemented something which bypasses that, just a small extension to the backend which fires categorizations of losses to an announcement channel, follow that channel and you have your loss mails.
Why would I want to use this?
Well the purpose of the site is recent stuff, want to see what’s currently ongoing I have the rendering speed down to sub millisecond, so latency is essentially non existent right now, the purpose of the site is not to be a replacement for any kill boards, its purpose is to compliment.
I would like to support this site as I have been using it for hunting the region I am in?
Toss me some ISK to support my loki losses.
I have an idea and I want to pass it on that would be quite a nice addition?
Discord link is on the web site, get in touch, otherwise in game would be quite handy and we can see if its viable?
I am a corp/streamer/person who would like to collaborate?
Would love to collaborate with anyone interested - please get in touch.
I recently realised the visibility of the site deserved a bit of explanation, subsequently I hope some of the information clears up any confusion
