I feel like this could be an extremely useful bulk production industrial trade tool. Ideally, it would let anyone register their corp contract API which would then generate a very useful and searchable library of available contracts.

Imagine:

Buy orders could be placed from across the galaxy. Crucial industry production chokepoints could be more easily supplied while stationing areas could be quickly filled supplying buy requests for a set of various pvp gear. Bulk buy/sell operations would be a lot more visible. I really think a player made tool like this would be widely used.

I'm not too sure if there has been a player built tool like this before either.

Sounds like something one could put together fairly easily, and could even have an API built to serve those who want to scrape the database too.

I'll look into it :D
