I've been poking around with the API and wrote myself an app. It's small and imperfectly formed, and doesn't really do a great deal (it was really just an excuse to play around with things), but I thought I'd tell you about it anyway.
So, you've probably got a bunch of bags in your inventory, and bigger bags, and toolboxes, and if you're anything like me, you put things in those bags and boxes and then immediately forget where you put them. So, I wrote something to rummage through them all for you and show where things are hiding.

It was just put together over a couple of spare evenings, and so is a little clunky and not exactly highly polished (hey, I'm a programmer, not a designer), but it works.
I'd quite like to share this with folks so you can have a play, but given the alpha status of the game and the not-really-public-yet status of the API, I thought I'd better check with staff whether or not that would be OK.
Some technical notes:
OAuth isn't available to us yet so you need to pass the app a valid oauth_token to enable it to work. The easiest way to get one is from the API explorer. Obviously, you'll need to be a registered player with access to the alpha for any of this to work.
It's a client-side app, written in Javascript. The oauth_token isn't passed on to any servers (other than back the Glitch servers).
So, staff, waddyathink?
