A service. Formerly a B, since my .bat that pulls market data from my favorite items into Excel every 12 hours sometimes pull corrupt / bad data from the site. Hasn't happened in a few months, so good dev progress.

Website totally died for me, since days.

Wish the Developer made the sources available for someone else to keep running this fantastic, super website we love.

The source code has been made available for quite a while now (just not publicly advertised).

As Jack posted it is located https://bitbucket.org/aeolun/eve-marketeer.

The repository includes all the php files and some of the database structure, but none of the data. It does use the default crucible database tables for most of the items, ships, maps etc though so you can get 99% of it functioning. Having worked with it for several months now the biggest obstacle was re-creating the data that was needed for the app its self (default values, login data, cron jobs, etc).

Callean was awesome enough to give me access to the missing data and have been able to successfully re-create a development version for myself which will be showing up as a forked project of eve-marketeer. The hope is the fork will make available more features that he will be able to fork into eve-marketeer.com as he sees fit.

Yes please. That website was a gem. It'd be really sad to lose it.

It's running again, for what it's worth.

WoW the site is nearly dead, what a shame...

Would it be hard to switch to EMDR for data and ease this poor server pain?

Also where can we donate for a better server?

Thank you for your extraordinary tool !

I tried (about a month ago) to poke Callean Drevus to support the format, that EMDR/EVEMon is using, in order for his site to benefit from the excess data flow.
The response I got was that we had lost interest in EVE (at least for the moment) as RL comes first (totally acceptable).
Until things change in his RL don't expect anything.

Well, change has come, and with the change, a surprising increase in motivation.

Let me explain in some more detail what happened (TEXT WALL ALERT):

About 4 months or so ago, I was happily working on my Job, and on EVE Marketeer, when I got an offer for another job, which was awesome. The catch was, that to get it, I had to work part-time for my would be new employer while I waited for my current contract to end. Needless to say, this imposed quite a lot on my spare time, as I was essentially working about 70 hours a week in total.

70 hours of work would've left some time for EVE Marketeer, but I found that after doing the programming work of two jobs, I just couldn't do anything more than just stare at a TV screen, watch a movie/series, or play a simple but addictive game like League of Legends, anything that didn't actually require me to think too much was fine.

At that point, the decision to drop EMK for the moment was made, as I had run into a few walls with the website anyway, and I couldn't really continue with expanding it without a significant rewrite. This was not the EMDR part, which was easy to add, but I just couldn't motivate myself to add it to the website when I knew I was going to totally rewrite it anyway once I returned to business. Besides, with the current processing mechanism, EMK would positively DIE the moment I turned open that valve :P

END OF TEXT WALL

Anyway, that is the long story. I'm now back to one job, which allows me to work from home even, so I should have much more opportunities to do some useful EMK work :) and hopefully supply you with (more) awesome stuff in the future again.

I'll be modifying the front post to let everyone seeing the topic know I'm back, and I'm very anxious to hear from you what exactly you used most on the current website, and what you would like to see after a rewrite. Anything goes, even things you think are impossible!

Great news to hear you're back, Callean. I'm eagerly looking forward to seeing Eve Marketeer retake it's place as the best eve market site out there :)

Also, especially hoping to see implemented that trade route finder that was initially looked at so long ago :)
