Mobile app for Trading?

Creators hinted at a mobile app one day in the future focused on maps....

Before that I would love to see a mobile app for trading, pretty simple in concept
- Trade notification (pm) notifies in game and via device notification
- If not in game can agree to trade via device
- If in game but busy can agree to trade via device
- Can trade like normal in game
- Similar trade interface (both parties put item in trade window, review and agree)

I am sure there would be some technical obstacles to overcome, but this would be a upgrade in my opinion

I would think these could work together (e.g. eventually the same app)

When I play games, I like to focus on the games. When I'm not playing games, I like to focus on other things. Trading should be confined to your play time. It's part of the game, and should be treated that way. There is/are reason(s) I'm not playing the game, when I'm not playing game - as in; I have other stuff I want/have to do.

Don't get me wrong here, I am all for trade improvements. I just feel that offline trading and trading via phones is bad, just because you're progressing while not playing - and that it's "intruding" your non-game time.

"But what if I WANT to be intruded by PoE-pushes when I'm not playing?"

Well, good for you, but this feature kinda forces/pushes people to use it, to maximize their progress/efficiency. I just don't like it.

Easier trading would widen the gap between SSF play and trade. All that would do is make it harder for GGG to design their game to satisfy both types of play.

You think making trading easier would make it better for you. It wouldn't. You'd be gaining an advantage that everyone else would be gaining and thus come out in the same spot you are in right now... only faster. You'd quickly discover that it's a job rather than a game.

For me, trading has become the hassle (sitting in game waiting for a trade PM when I am not playing so I can generate a little currency for the next upgrade)

All points so far have been valid, maybe some sort of limit e.g. max 3 trades per day via device, filthy casuals like myself would get a chance to make a few trades, heavy players probably wouldn't bother with it because they live in-game and if you choose to not use it then 3 trades per day doesn't make that big of a difference (assuming you could sell 3 items "every" day is probably not realistic anyways - at least not in my casual experience)

Last week I kept POE in a window while WFH on my main screen, and I made less than two trades a day average across 5*8hr days
