Hi,
I am reopening my store after a few years, and while I was listing inventory
again, I noticed that the listing process is a bit cumbersome. I have lots of
experience in software development now, and I am building a chrome extension
to make listing as fast as possible. Some features I will be including are:

You will navigate in the Bricklink catalog to an item. Click the "Add to
Inventory" link, which will open the extension's popup

The popup will have a single form that will list all the colors available for
the selected catalog item with 6 month average sales prices and an input for
quantity. This will allow you to add all colors of the part all at once.

Once submitted, the item will be added to store inventory in all colors with
a quantity above 0, at the 6 month average sales price.

Later I can add more customizability features.

Bricklink blocks requests from their own address with the CORS policy, so I will
have to build a Proxy api with a database to manage API keys.

Because the proxy makes things more complicated, I think I will use React.js
to build the interface in the popup. I would have a settings page where users
can add/update api keys. this page would be password protected with JWT.

Voice your inputs. I think this would be a welcome feature for sellers to increase
profitability, I am interested if other sellers think the same, or what features
they think would be bennificial.

I think that exists, free and open source, started in 2005, fully maintained:
