What is this?

Patch Notes Reformatted transforms the wall-of-text Path of Exile forum patch notes into a clean, structured, Dota 2-inspired reading experience — with color-coded buffs, nerfs, fixes, and new content, all filterable at a glance.

Features:

• 🟢 Buffs / 🔴 Nerfs / 🔵 Fixes / ⭐ New — color-coded and filterable
• 📋 Click any stat in the header to filter the entire changelog by type
• 🗂️ Auto-generated Table of Contents + sticky section navigation
• 📌 Works with any pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/... URL, or paste raw text directly
• ⏳ Countdown to the next league launch (Return of the Ancients — Update 0.5)
• 📱 Fully responsive, dark mode by default

🛠️ More Tools Coming

This is the first of a series of free, open source micro-tools I'm building for the PoE2 community in celebration of the new league season.

Got an idea? If there's something that would make your Path of Exile 2 experience more convenient — a tool, a helper, a calculator, anything — I'd love to hear it.

🚀 Running Locally

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Start the dev server (frontend + backend)
npm run dev

Then open http://localhost:5173

The app has two parts running concurrently:

• Vite — frontend dev server with hot-reload
• Express — backend API that fetches and parses PoE forum threads
