I would like to introduce you to a project I've been working on to simplify the headaches of distributing minerals and/or isk after group mining operations.

I call it MineCalc (Beta).
http://eveminecalc.com/

Any feedback or comments is appreciated as I attempt to push this project out of beta and into a stable tool for my fellow miners.

As an enhancement, you could add a combo box for system selection and then pull the highest current buy orders for each mineral in that system from Eve-Central, rather than requiring the user enter values themselves, but still allow either option (manual or auto-populate based on system).

I'll take that into consideration! Thank you for your suggestion.

Me Like. I will be checking in now and again. It has potential to be quite handy.

For the Miner Details (lol minor details) instead of putting what the fields are (like duration) inside the field itself, I think you should put the label above like a typical table would feature. Then put the formatting example inside the field area. Less confusing I think. Then people will know what each field is even after it's been filled in.

It would also be nice to have a little FAQ or instruction/description of what each portion is doing. Took me a little bit of playing to figure out what "Duration" and "Shares" meant under Miner Details. Which is fine but reading a little description would have been quicker.

Also, I didn't figure out what fiscal meant until later on lol. And Gross and Net. I mean I figured it out pretty quick. I think having descriptions somewhere explaining what is going will be to everyone's benefit.

Awesome Sauce,

P.S. I'm also making a Mining Calc. But it's very different from yours. I didn't even think of your useful features. Nor will I, I'll just link to your site. Not even alpha stage yet lol
