Made a PoB-to-.build converter for PoE2's Build Planner

Hey,

Made a small browser tool that converts a Path of Building code (or pobb.in URL) into the new .build file the in-game Build Planner
reads. Paste, download, drop the file into your BuildPlanner folder, pick it from the in-game menu.

Link: https://chesler410.github.io/poe2-build-forge/

What it does:
- Accepts a raw PoB export string or a pobb.in URL
- Decodes the wire format (URL-safe base64 + zlib XML)
- Maps PoB's tree node IDs to GGG's passive skill IDs
- Outputs a schema-validated .build JSON file

Notes:
- Free, open source (MIT), browser-only — no signup, no backend
- Runs entirely client-side; nothing leaves your machine
- Source: https://github.com/chesler410/poe2-build-forge

Heads up on the build process: I paired with an AI assistant (Anthropic's Claude) on this, directed the design and testing, AI
wrote most of the TypeScript. Every commit credits the assistant in its message, and the repo is fully open if anyone wants to
inspect the code.

Early days, would love feedback. If something looks off when you try it with your own build, please reply here or open an issue on
GitHub. The site footer shows the current version + commit SHA, which is super useful for bug reports.

Thanks for taking a look.

Pretty neat tool. I hope the updates in the 0.5 patch don't break it!
Who am I to say anything, I don't respect my time either.
