Tired of sitting in EC all day? Help test this new tool :)

[tristantio]

I'm always happy to integrate/crossover with anything (on any of my projects/utils really).

If ectunnel.org could slightly update the messaging system from this current format:

http://ectunnel.org/message.php?trade=104

To something like:

http://ectunnel.org/message.php?recipient=Anakarias&item=Tasliman+of+the+Cat

It would be easy for me to modify Ahungry so you could right click on an item link (left click opens wiki right now) and pop open an URL to the ECTunnel site, which would essentially have the message box to the desired user popped up.

Then, if ECTunnel had a queue system, where users who are not currently registered could receive messages, and then as soon as they signed up, be given all the queued messages, it wouldn't matter if users did not currently have an account registered.

I have a nightly dump of the /auc logs available (given to a few people who wanted to try to integrate so far) and the URLs for items/searches are pretty API friendly as well (for live querying vs my site), so anyone is welcome to tap in/integrate.

Thoughts?

I appreciate your work, but it seems that you are reinventing the wheel, I still do not see anything here that is not already being serviced equally well, by the EC tunnel forum. You make ppl sign up, you make ppl manually update their stuff, which means you provide no value that does not already exist, (and yet another user-pass to remember/another thing to sign up for). I'm sorry, but I see no value added here, best of luck.

On the flip side, ahungry is an excellent example of added value: without creating any more work for anyone, without anything to manually maintain/sign up for/etc, he has given us a near real time way to look at EC w/o having to be in EC. Your designer was correct, keep it simple stupid. You are reinventing the wheel, no offense.

Searching for items on the forums does not work nearly as well. You get a list of threads, and sometimes they are for PVP server or not even really related to the item you are looking for. The search functionality is what makes this nice.

The ahungry tracker works well for seeing what's been auctioned in the last few weeks or so, but that still doesn't work super well, as you can't message the person selling or buying an item if they auctioned in EC a week ago.

I think this site finds a niche in its ability to fill the gaps in all the other selling/buying places. However, unfortunately, it isn't as widely used.
