What is it:
An extension to the chrome web browser that allows you to find crafting recipes and helps to organise your inventory.
You can install the extension from the chrome web store here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/path-of-exile-inventory-h/ieeefjeclfcfjfigjilfklgkdinkmeln
Basic usage
- Log in to pathofexile.com with 'Remember Me' checked.
- Open the chrome app via stash management under the home menu
- Select the league you want to view.
- Whenever you want to refresh the items from the server you need to click Refresh then either 'All or Partial (and select which parts to refresh).
- Select either the crafting recipe you want to make (only ones you can make are shown) or View Inventory to see what items you have.
The chaos orb recipe is broken!
Sort of. The data available on the web doesn't contain item level, so we can't make sure all your things are > item level 60. My suggestion is you keep everything > 60 in specific tabs and then use 'configure crafting' to ignore the other tabs.
What's a good way to make this thing work for me?
One of the old incarnations of this extension used to ping the sever every few minutes to see if you could make any new recipes. Unfortunately the load it caused was death to the server so the throttling was added (see below). One of the ways you can work around this is:
* Whore up a sack full of loot, identifying it as you go (takes a min or two before the server seems to realise you've picked something up and id'd it).
* Use the partial refresh function to refresh only the character you are playing.
* See if you won anything in the crafting screens.. If you have to dump stuff back into your stash you might want to refresh those tabs on the next run too.
Why is it so slow to load initially/refresh?
Because the PoE website throttles how many requests you can make in a given time period. At the moment it is ~15 requests per 60 seconds. There is one request per character on your account and then there will be one request per stash tab for each league you select.
When will [critical issue] be fixed?
Are you sure you have the latest version? It should autoupdate, but if you aren't on at least version 0.50 then you probably have an old version and need to reinstall. If you are on the latest version and it's broken then I guess it'll be fixed when I feel like it..
How can I help fix it?
Posting a bug report here is really helpful, especially if you can include the errors from the javascript console. You can open the console with ctrl-shift-j on windows and cmd-alt-j on mac. Alternativly you could fork the code, fix it and send me a pull request!
You can get the source code / fork the project here:
https://github.com/njs50/poe_ext
In theory you could also post issues and update (or create) the wiki pages there too :p

FAQ
Did you check with the devs before releasing this?
No. The information this application uses is freely available in your browser, queried via the same methods that the PoE site itself uses. I don't see mashups of this nature as something for which one needs to seek permission.
Is this a hack?
No, it doesn't use the game in any shape or form. Just the item browser from the website, in exactly the same way a human would use it.
Is there a warranty?
LOL no. Use at your own risk. But I think it should be OK, I did what I could to avoid putting excessive load on the server and if the devs ask me to change it to put less load I will.
Will you make this for [Firefox/IE/Opera/Safari]?
No, that would be a lot of extra work for minimal benefit. Chrome is free, hard drive space is cheap. Download it and use it for this.

btw. if anyone is still having db issues can you let me know what version of chrome you are on? I see the folks at google are rewriting the way the indexedDB works to be more in line with the spec. hopefully the changes don't break things too much :p

newest version of chrome can only install plugins from the 'chrome web store'. I assume this is google's old shtick of generating traffic by controlling portal websites, nothing really super sinister. But as of version 21.0 chrome extensions can ONLY be installed from the chrome portal. IE, not from github.
Mind pushing your releases to chrome's portal? It'd take a few moments of your time :)

Let a man walk alone -
Let him commit no sin.
Let him bear few wishes,
Like an elephant in the forest.

Chrome -> Extensions -> Enable developer mode -> Load unpacked extension (and grab the code from github).
This isn't a Google thing (well, not specifically their shtick). This is what happens when the appstore mentality becomes pervasive. At least they still allow you to leave the walled garden unlike other unmentionable companies.

Alright the easy way for now is:
1: download the .crx file.
2: Go find where chrome stuck it.
3: Open up chrome://extensions
4: drag and drop the file into this page
