This is a feature-rich companion application for the online action RPG Path of Exile (both PoE1 and PoE2). It provides real-time item price checking, trade search, wealth tracking, currency exchange rates, dangerous map modifier detection, wiki integration, and various tools (chromatic calculator, regex hotkeys, chat macros). The application runs as a cross-platform desktop app (Avalonia, legacy WPF) or as a web app, with a Blazor Server UI embedded in a WebView for desktop, or directly hosted for web. It integrates with multiple external APIs (poe.ninja, poeprices.info, poe2scout.com, poewiki.net, official Path of Exile trade API) and uses OAuth2 PKCE for account authentication. The codebase is modular, with clear separation between core common libraries, game data parsing, API clients, UI modules, and platform abstractions. It supports 10+ game languages and maintains accurate item text parsing via regex-based parsers. The architecture is a modular monolith with dependency injection, a centralized settings system (SQLite via EF Core), and an auto-update mechanism using Velopack.

The LLM identified 3 files worth highlighting for reuse:

A custom rate limiter that respects server-provided rate limit headers (e.g., X-Rate-Limit-Reset). It synchronizes the client-side throttle window with the server's window, preventing unnecessary 429 responses. It implements System.Threading.RateLimiting abstractions and supports multiple limit rules (e.g., max requests per time period). This component is self-contained, has no dependencies on Sidekick-specific types beyond the common models, and could be extracted as a reusable NuGet package for any HttpClient that needs server-synchronized rate limiting.

A pure static class that computes the probability of rolling specific socket colors on an item given the item's attribute requirements and desired colors. It uses a combinatorial algorithm that accounts for Vorici-like socket coloring mechanics. The component has zero dependencies (no imports from the codebase other than standard .NET types) and is a self-contained calculation engine. It could be extracted verbatim into any other project requiring socket color probability computation.

file: src/Sidekick.Modules.Items/Tools/Chromatic/ChromaticProbabilityCalculator.cs ↗ | tags: #mathematical #probability #gaming

A minimal, generic debouncer class that delays invoking an action until a specified timeout has elapsed since the last call. It uses CancellationTokenSource for safe cancellation and is thread-safe. The implementation is clean, has no Sidekick-specific dependencies, and would be directly reusable in any .NET application needing debounced input or event handling.
