As a market jew, I scour the universe for contracts. There's no automated way of checking a contract's true value, so I decided to write one that checks against current Jita sell orders.

The webapp is available at http://evecontracts.herokuapp.com/

Usage:

1. Open up a [Multiple Items] contract
2. Select an item in the contract, and press Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C to copy all items
3. Go to http://evecontracts.herokuapp.com/
4. Paste into the text box using Ctrl-V
5. ...
6. Profit

Technical details:

- Implemented in Node.js, no database involved
- Uses expressjs, jade, xml2js and numeral packages
- Prices are queried live using http://dev.eve-central.com/evec-api/
- Hosted on heroku for free. First time using it, it's quite cool.
