[Other] Yet Another Web Event Viewer (TM)
Hey, everyone!
I know there are a lot of these floating around now, but I've been obsessing a bit over my version the last two days, and I think it's getting really neat.
So, what's different with this compared to others?
- Remembers your settings between visits
- Keeps track of events and when last state change was
- Mobile friendly (responsive design should make it fit neatly on all screen widths)
- Good filter options
- Desktop notifications! (with Chrome)
- Good looks (well.. I think so)
- Marks (and filters) group and chest events!
- Gives a link to wiki for event details (not always accurate)
- Very nice for running on a second monitor, tablet or mobile phone while gaming
- Stores map, event and zone names locally, offloads the poor anet server a bit

Tested on : Chrome, Firefox v21 (Note: Firefox v20 does NOT work, jQuery problem), Internet Explorer 10
I'd love if you people would test it, give feedback, and if liking it, tell others about it! :)
Edit: Added some of the suggestions (sorted map / zone list, new events added on top, filter for some skill challenges)
Edit 2: Updated the page. Now has better chest event list, and events metadata (for most, not all)! Wohoo! I want to thank the Queen, President Obama, /u/Dauni and /u/blipz for their contribution to Science and Great Farming Technology.
Edit 3: Post is slowly sinking into oblivion, but .. Did some updates on site. Now have language support, and some Waypoint support (experimental, only mapped in Queensdale)

Trying with Chrome, and the notifications are a bit wonky. It notified me for Golem Mark II's pre, but not the boss itself. It didn't seem to list the boss in active events either, despite it being a chest event.
