Hi,

I've been working on a new wormhole intel gathering site for a little while, and figured I'd let other people have a play to get comments and criticisms. I should stress that this isn't meant to replace any of the big hitters - siggy, eveeye, wormnav, etc - it's very early days in its development.

The site can be accessed at: http://wormhol.es

The main objective of the site was that I wanted something that I could hit one button when I jump into a wormhole and have a good indication of whats going on and what has gone on there, without having to go to several sites.

The reason I'm posting really is to get some feedback on what other info I could pool to gather intel, other features, etc. I'd also like it if people test it on wormholes that they know who the occupants are and let me know if it got it right or not - this will enable me to tweak the algorithm. Obviously you can be as vague as you like - no data is recorded for queries, only data that is scraped from Eve-Kill and Dotlan is cached.

Things to note:
- The search box can spaz out a bit if you type too quickly, this is an issue with the jQuery autocomplete plugin (it happens on Dotlan too) and is something I'm aware of.
- None of the pilot, corp, alliance clickable links do anything at the moment other than show the internal ID number.
- Collapsible panels is on the TODO list
- Copy & Paste links for a given system (so you can paste them easily in chat) is also on TODO
- Trusting the site currently just enables the "refresh" button so you can quickly check somewhere you've jumped into.

Good stuff but would it not make more sense to offer an reverse search and be able to search a corp/alliance cos when I jump into a system I hit d-scan and check poco`s and know 5secs later who lives there anyway ?

Someone else suggested that too.. how would you imagine searching for a corp/alliance? i.e. what information would it return? Where they were last active? Unless you know how to get to them (I guess stuff like wormnav et al come in useful there) then how would you make use of that info?

Also - I don't really want to create a site that people don't want to use for fear of giving away intel... that thought is in the back of my mind.

Some people put POCOs up on an alt corp or leave the interbus ones up so it doesn't always give you the info you want.

I like it, very nice job. I also like how you data mine for intel. Just a small tip, for the Dotlan section remove the Jumps counter. The API data is no longer available for jumps in w-space, dotlan keeps it for k-space and seeing how your tool is a w-space intel tool.

Done. You can also get information on k-space systems though it's less interesting :)

I should point out that I am trying to identify and fix errors as people are encountering, and I'm still working on improvements for the site so spurious errors might be encountered. :|

edit: Forgot to add that you can link to systems by using http://wormhol.es/sys/NAME - e.g. http://wormhol.es/sys/J123456

Will work on adding an easy "copy to clipboard" link shortly.

I'm impressed by the `intel` part. I've tried several systems i know and the info was pretty accurate. A very usefull tool indeed.

Promising :)

Edit : Intel and Eve Kill parts took more time than expected to appear... Now that I see them it's VERY promising.

In fact, I'm amazed. About the timezone part, corporation, and so on.

Keep going !

AAAAAH! It knows so much about us! AAAAAAH!

Add a link to evewho to the intel bar about the local corp and creepy stalker factor is maximized.

Very Very nice. I like knowing all I can before raiding our connecting holes. If there is an active corp there I try to leave the hole alone and roll it out of respect for the holders of that system.
Great Job keep it up !

I am NOT crazy they made me take my medication this morning!
