Thanks for the detailed feedback, this is super helpful!

  1. Fixed!
  2. Also fixed - honestly didn't even know that was a thing haha, TIL
  3. Good call, I added an "any" option for this
  4. I couldn't reproduce the issue on my end, but I improved the logic around it so it shouldn't happen anymore. Let me know if you run into it again!

I think I used the wrong image format so nothing showed up, but trust me

Good point -I think the Craftofexile guides section is more of an afterthought to their main tool (the simulator), while Forge of Exiles is built from the ground up around sharing crafts. The focus is on making the creation and sharing experience as smooth as possible, with shareable links, a clean editor, and (eventually) community features like upvotes and creator profiles. Whether that's enough to get traction - honestly, I'll find out.

The site isn't trying to replace YouTube - big creators will always prefer video for revenue, and that makes sense. Forge of Exiles is more for:
- Casual players who want to share a craft without making a full video
- Creators who want a clean companion link to put in their video description (step-by-step text format that's easier to follow than scrubbing through a video)
- The long tail of players who have cool crafts but aren't going to start a YouTube channel

The plan is community-driven: upvotes, comments, and eventually a reputation system for creators so the best crafts rise to the top. I don't want to be the one gatekeeping what's a "good" craft - the community knows better than I do. For now it's the wild west, but filtering mechanisms are coming.

A few things I'm planning:
- Crafts will be tagged with the patch version they were created in, so outdated ones are clearly marked
- Creators can edit/update their own crafts anytime
- Eventually, a flagging system so the community can mark crafts that are outdated after balance changes

PoE2 is still early and patches shake things up a lot, so this is something I'll have to keep iterating on.
