Not sure if this goes here since it is out of game, but have you guys thought about a windows 8 app? I know there are a few apps coming for mobile users, but, couldn't you easily port that to Windows 8? I know there is already an app that lets you monitor your character via an API key (similar to eve mon, but less feature heavy and more pretty) I'd also love something similar for Dust characters as well.

AH, spiffy thank you. Now, is it possible one of those lovely ISD folks could move this thread for me?

i tried out http://apps.microsoft.com/windows/en-us/app/evepulse/8c91c9f3-1bbc-46f8-ba82-cdca71fa1fff a while ago, but i didn't like it too much

also a quick search in the app store revealed: http://apps.microsoft.com/windows/de-de/app/eve-interface/0b81060d-0956-4ad8-a2f0-4b0d05457234 - but i haven't tried it. It seems to be German only...

Yeah, that one is more spiffy then the one I tried. But it all just seems like basic info, and lacking of some of the full on features that could be there if CCP developed it.

The Store is literally Hitler.

100EUR a year for a developer license, can't publish your application without paying for it, and the rules for the store are really stupid.
It's about as bad as Apple.

(Yes, I've published an app on the Store, so I've had to go through the pain of doing it.)

Sorry to hear you didn't like EvePulse. I've made some improvements since v1, so its worth another look. It has a live tile with background updates, notifications for an empty skill queue and considerably better perf.

I'm working on adding Industry support as well (basic support is in, as well as even more perf improvements, I just need to clean it up). If there are other things you'd like to see, let me know.
