Anyone know of a 3rd party eve dashboard that takes your api key and pulls in a dashboard for your character?

I'm considering making one in php, but I would rather just find one already done. :)

The problem with eve is, by its very nature 95% of the 3rd party stuff is kept super secret because everyone is in competition with everyone.  Also Bhodi I want that damn f1-f8 script, I keep forgeting to bug nerf about it and after I ratted him out to Schild last night I bet he wont give it to me.

Dashboard = the shit on the right-side of your Vista desktop:  clock, weather, tickers, and a bunch of other possible little applications that can display info on the desktop, basically.  Example here.  (the idea started on the Mac, apparently, and Vista copied it, then XP users copied it from Vista).

That's called the sidebar I think. Anyway, here are a couple for Vista.

Skillwatch
Sidebar widget

I'm sure there are more

Come on ppl, a dashboard!

Like My Yahoo page, or whatever.

I picture it like this (watch out, here comes the prod manager side):



You could add even more stuff: asset lists, corp wallet/transaction info, new members added to corp, any research/manufacturing jobs, etc.

Hopefully they'll add one for contracts too, soon.

Those are widgets. The dashboard is actually the screen, which shows a number of widgets. (Though widgets can also live on the sidebar, like in Vista)

Just like, say Netvibes is a dashboard which you can add widgets too.. individual components on the dashboard framework.

The eve API outputs an XML stream (yes I looked at the raw data sent to evemon, yes, I am a geek), turning that into well formed xhtml should take an afternoon.  Really, all you would have to do is define a CSS for the tags.

I would be surprised if there isn't something out there already.

Yah no big deal, was hoping to find something already built - but making it bring in multiple streams at once would require at least something on the backend.

More info on the API/XML stuff here: http://wiki.eve-dev.net/APIv2_Page_Index
