in plain english

PoeAncientsPriceHelper is a small Windows utility for players of Path of Exile 2, an online action game. When you are inside the game looking at a list of currency items you might want to trade, this tool reads that list from your screen and shows the current market prices right next to each item, without requiring you to switch to a browser tab. The price data comes from poe.ninja, a community website that tracks real-time trading prices for Path of Exile items. The tool fetches fresh prices automatically every 30 minutes. For stacked items it shows both the total value and the per-item value, for example displaying something like "2 (0.5 each)" so you can quickly decide whether a trade is worthwhile. One feature the README highlights is handling of uncut gems, which are items in the game whose value changes significantly based on level. Rather than show a potentially misleading price when the gem level cannot be read clearly from the screen, the overlay displays a question mark to indicate uncertainty. This is a deliberate design choice because neighboring gem levels can differ in value by several times. Setup is straightforward: download a zip file from the releases page, unzip it, and run a command file. No installation process and no additional software is required. The first time you run it, you drag a box around the in-game panel to calibrate where the tool should look on your screen. After that, keyboard shortcuts handle recalibration, debug views, and hiding the overlay. The overlay is click-through, meaning your mouse clicks pass through to the game underneath. The tool is built with C# and .NET 8, uses Tesseract for the screen reading, and runs on Windows only.
