DevTracker - Never miss a Post again!

Path of Exile DevTracker
Greetings Everyone, I have completed a Tool which will make your PoE-Nerding-Days a lot easier! http://poe.aeterni.com/tools/devtracker/ Since you guys probably know what a DevTracker is anyway, i won't bore you with walls of text. I just say it features all public posts of all active developers, can be searched/sorted in numerous ways and also offers Feeds (JSON & RSS/Atom) for all you nerdy needs. =) For those who dont know what a DevTracker is, i copied the primitive FAQ from the site F.A.Q.

What is the Automated DevTracker? The DevTracker automatically checks the Path of Exile forums periodically for new posts made by the developers. This helps fans of the game to easier keep track of important informations released on the forums only. How often does it crawl the forums? Every tracked User is queried every 3-5 minutes with a single query to the pathofexile servers. The last known post is marked as target post, which will then be traced through the pages. This will happen only if a tracked user wrote more then 10 posts since the last track. The DevTracker generally never queries more often then once every 10 seconds. So it may be late by a couple of minutes? Due to serverfriendly queryintervalls the DevTracker will most likely be between 3-5 minutes late. If it crashes (which it might...) it will be more. Does it reveal hidden beta stuff? Nope, and it never will. WTF are Feeds? A Feed is specially formatted page with a static URL. Different FeedReaders can use these Feeds very much like a newsletter without actually using emails. Every feed always shows the 20 most current Posts in a preformatted form. What is RSS/Atom? RSS/Atom is a very common format used by tons of programs. Some but not all are: Mozilla Firefox, Mozilla Thunderbird, Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Internet Explore. What is JSON? JSON is a very popular way of formatting Data for different programs. People may use this to build Sidebar Gadgets, Desktop Applications or Website Tickers without having to battle XML/RSS. If you want to code a tool and use the JSON-Feed provided, please tell me. You don't have to, but I'm curious! xD Suggestions & Bugs Not everything works perfect for now, some things i know about, others i dont. Please don't hesitate to contact me in this Thread or by PM.

Known Issues - The Headergraphic is awefull. If a talented artist is willing to provide me with a new one (preferably orange and 100*1600 in size), i'd be happy :) - Items are displayed poorly. They are parsed correctly but have no CSS and JS associated to them yet. This will change. - I'm happy about feedback of all sorts. Thanks for reading and keep on nerding everyone!

Hahaha, it's funny how many programmers this community have. :)
There will be a lot of 3rd party programs around, btw, who is going to do the 9.3 character planner? :P Last edited by KurzedMetal#4659 on Nov 9, 2011, 3:26:34 PM

" In terms of Passive Skills, there's probably a cooperative project coming up from 3 members of the community (me included). It'll take some time though ;p DevTracker
