For those asking about offline support... the site's written using the Cobalt framework, which does seem to lend itself to offline use.
***Shameless plug*** ... I blogged about my technical opinion of it: http://rpg.brainclouds.net/2017/03/20/dnd-beyond-first-impressions/
Adam Bradford confirmed on Twitter that "tabletophero.com" was the working title of the product before it became D&D Beyond.

Yes, but it's not the VPN IP address only that's banned. It's the entire account, even when you log in using a normal IP address. And then getting that account restored is very hard to impossible to do. I find that policy to be a little on the extreme side, especially considering they don't do a good job warning you this will happen.
In fact, I wish they had banned the VPN IP address in a way that kept me from logging on in the first place. I would have realized what was going on, and simply logged in with a normal IP, and could have avoided having my account banned (which I only used to watch videos every now and then, I never posted anything). It seems to me to be a better way to handle things and not to exclude your clients who aren't problems or trouble-makers.
Regardless of whether you think it's a good policy or not (Facebook and Youtube don't have that policy, by the way), I'm simply letting people know so they don't run into the problems I did. A lot of people use VPNs.
It was not a net gain for my user experience.

And the rabbit hole goes one layer deeper as Amazone owns twitch who own curse.
I wonder if we eventualy see deals where if you buy DnD books trough Amazon you also unlock that content in DnD beond.

My only gripe with D&D Beyond at this stage is that I can't increase the listings per page. I really don't like having to load webpages while searching.
But yeah, that's my only gripe. Product seems good so far.

This gap was noted on their forums (by me and others). They responded that it was in their plan to add a global search.

Two beefs so far:
1) Having to hit "Return" to run your search, instead of just having the results filter as you type. It could at least filter the name matches, and then fill in the rest of the detail when you hit return.
2) So much of the screen is wasted on unnecessary decoration that the actual search results (on my screen) don't appear without scrolling.
