[quick note, I realise there is an NS portal being built, but I wanted to give it a try]

I'm thinking of writing a quick program in either perl/gtk or Java that will interface with NationStates in much the same way as Phoebos' portal does (I didn't realise he was making one until Myrth pointed it out).

I was just wondering a couple of things:

Would there be interest in this?

Is there a good way around having to transmit the nations password in plain text between the client and the website?

Thanks in advance.

Not currently. (And there isn't one even in planning stages.)

Fair enough, I know it would be a pain in the butt to set up anyway.

I'll just put a warning in the app :)

Thanks.
