I started looking at the code. I already have a full time job plus a part time one, and playing ED, you can say I'm busy. But I'm badly missing this tool.
Now, I've been mostly a Mac OS X/iOS developer for many years. I'm not too familiar with web development. I done a bit but that was a long time ago, when WebLogic and WebSphere were the buzzwords of the time.
Can someone point me to something which would allow me to clone the git repository on a Mac OS X machine (mostly a Unix machine) and give me some directions about how I could start modifying the code there and be able to locally see the changes on my machine?
The developer guide for the project is awfully succinct assuming you know everything to setup your development environment.

Well macOS is a perfect environment to just run regular command line git but if you aren't very familiar with that I'd suggest you use github's app, should make things easy with the code already on github.
Running it seems fairly simple based on the dev guide so long as you get the dependencies set up. Just updating existing modules and such should be straightforward, json is a simple format and the files are well formatted, as for modifying the app itself, can't do more than point you at nodejs, not familiar with it myself.
https://github.com/Marginal/EDMarketConnector can do that for you. As well as dumping market data and updating edsm.net with your location. It's incredibly useful.
EDDI can also do this, using VoiceAttack to send your current ship to coriolis.
I'm leaving for a trip outside the country tonight, will be back next Tuesday but the following weekend, I will try to start poking around the code and see where I can go. I would really like to be able to configure the Beluga in coriolis. And I would also like to have some engineer mods as well. Maybe not all of them but some important ones like FSD and thrusters.
Maybe you cleared your browser cache/cookies or you changed your browser?

I love this tool. if McCloud can't keep up i am sure the community could move it on. It is OPEN SOURCE..... I have no knowledge of Git hub or any tech skills but happy to help however i can. this is one of the most vital tools for us all. Maybe a discord server if there isn't already one?
I just hope one day the Enhanced Thrusters will have the right values :/
Sounds like it could be the issue.
Coriolis saves the builds in a local cookie. For a permanent save, use the backup function in the Settings menu, or save the URL (which contains the build).
What's wrong? The power on 3A?
I'll have a go at submitting a patch for you when I get home.

Yes - darn it. I didn't know that it used a cookie to store that info in. Seems a little flaky design-wise don't you think? Cookies shouldn't contain actual data. Never mind - it is what it is. Thanks. All that work is gone now. Think I'll abandon this tool and go back to the other.
Haven't you saved your builds in another browser, on another computer perhaps? Like someone pointed out in an earlier post, there is a function to backup your builds externally.
Really didn't think it would be necessary - so no I didn't. More fool me I guess, but I didn't think that a 3rd party tool that was advertised to the wider community so energetically would not be persistent. This is really disappointing - but a fact of life these days I have come to understand. I hail from an earlier age where we honoured our commitments. I'm 67 and still supporting a system I would rather not - because that was my commitment when I took the job on (15 years ago).
It is persistent, you just wiped the data.
Personally I think that is a pretty poor and ungrateful attitude.
I could be wrong but I expect this is a purely voluntary project undertaken to help out the community. You can't expect people to be bound to help you foreever just because they voluntered once!

Amen to that!
That awesome guy that made it, made it to help out us, the other players of Elite Dangerous.
Real life issues has forced him to put it on hold.
Someones age has gone to his head.
Well if he's spent that long around computers he should be aware that if this were the case he'd need some sort of identity, usually a username, to link the builds to.
