Could you build this?
Partial The overlay, trade-site search, and alerts are standard vibe-codeable work, but the core verdict depends on running Path of Building's calculation engine against a parsed build, which needs real integration work with the PoB Lua engine.
What it would actually take: Build a Windows overlay (for example a Tauri or Electron shell, or a native window) that watches the clipboard after a simulated Ctrl+C and parses the PoB export format. Embed PoB's open-source calculation engine (LuaJIT) to recompute DPS, EHP, and resistances with the item swapped in. Add a trade-site client with rate limiting and a poe.ninja price source. The hard part is keeping the PoB integration accurate across game patches, which takes someone who knows both PoB internals and the game's mechanics.
