Hey folks
Just got the bug to get some programming skills and ED seemed to be a good enough challenge (i got fed up of my spreadsheets very quickly). I've put together an application that OCR's screenshots of the market and stores it in a local database file. Added a few lookups that have assisted me in trading. It's nowhere near complete and there is much work needed to smooth some things out but I thought it was time to get an opinion on it and some fresh ideas on direction. I work on this in obsessive little bursts so having a feature list to implement would be handy as I suck at original ideas!
I know this is kinda re-hashing what many others have done and probably to much higher standards than my own but what can I say, I had an urge to make something
Source is all on Github, written in vb.net for now (no haters please, VB is what I know). Instructions still need work but hopefully its clear enough to get started. Questions welcomed

Installer/Updater to latest version is on google drive for those not interested in the source (finally found a use for it!)

kudos to seeebek for the trained OCR data that made this possible.
Go forth and break it
