@NoTones. Thanks very much for reporting this entry. Much appreciated. I missed his thread, probably many more ;-(
If others read this, please do report tools, threads, videos you like. It will be added to ED3PTT.

Added it to ED3PTT.

Note:
ED3PTT is shaping up quite nicely. We both had time to seriously work on it - Biobob doing the coding ;-) A lot of the planned features for the first release are already implemented. All features are being put on the rack for some recreational torture testing. Despite all the screams (which the neighbors somehow don't like that much) the darn thing does NOT break. Which is good from a coding point of view ;-) Biobob has done marvels with the site. Still no ETA but we are getting there. Next thing will be moving it from the small testing server to its final destination. We have also given a commander access to it, for testing and to see if we overlooked something. Fingers crossed.

Current contents ED3PTT: Tools: Approx 80. Threads: 58. Video: 2

Just been checking OP and didn't see TDHelper in the trading tools section (I then searched thread for it as I was sure I had posted it here, but must have imagined it or not clicked save)

Author Comments: Complete support for most of Trade Dangerous' features. I hope it can be useful for anyone else who juggles multiple trade routes while also doing missions in between.
My Comments: Brilliant tool for working with TradeDangerous, I use it mainly for finding commods for missions and the odd bit of trading when missions are worthless.

I just checked ED3PTT. TDHelper is already in it and labeled as TradeDangerous GUI front end. Must have found/added it myself as I'm a TD user ;-) But I must have forgotten to mention it here, my bad ;-( I've added TDHelper to the title. Thread and repo were already mentioned. I've added your link which points to the download section where ready to run versions can be found. Keep up the good work. You going that extra mile is appreciated.

Note: I have this feeling that in the TD thread one or more GUI's are waiting to be discovered ;-)
I recall having seen a pull request for a GUI it but perhaps it has been redrawn. Not 100% sure.

Testing the brand new export function of ED3PTT.
Even in its first incarnation, it makes live so much easier ;-)

Trading tool. It takes a different approach than most existing tools by estimating trade time and maximizing profit/hour.

I created a website that provides a user interface and trading algorithm for EDDN/EDDB trade data. It takes a different approach than most existing tools by estimating trade time and maximizing profit/hour. It's called Elite Trade Net. Check it out: http://etn.io

Select your start system/station, pick your ship and set your starting budget. Then follow one of the recommended routes and profit.

Let me know if you have any questions or run into any issues. ETN should run on any HTML5-capable browser.

hey, im looking for an online tool that would show palyer statistics. Not sure if something like that is possible just yet though. You people know about anything like that?

By player statistics i mean basically everything available on the statistics panel in cockpit, allegiance, powerplay standing, wanted status, ranks, etc...

The iPhone web-api has a wealth of information in the returned JSON file. Its not updated for PowerPlay so PP info is not in it. There are "mobile api tools" which use the web-api to get lots of information. There is a logbook tool which shows PRE PP info which makes you drool - really. Its however not publicly released. Because at this moment the mobile api tools have not received a GO from FD. Its being discussed at FD if those tools are temp. allowed till the real ED API is released. Source. So far no news from Michael Brookes.
