Beta testers wanted for cloud-based character sheets

[Gharan Ironfist]

I've been working on a cloud-based 5th ed character sheet system for the last six months called Bullsheetz. My gaming group and I have been testing it for the last two months or so and I'm really happy with how it's working out, but I'm feeling a little guilty for not opening it up to more people. I'd also like to hear from people I don't know personally; maybe I'm making assumptions about usability, how intuitive it is (or isn't) etc. Plus, I thought it might come in handy for people going to Gen Con next week.

I should note this is not a business venture for me, and the service will likely always be free.

The site is mobile responsive (built using AngularJS, Bootstrap, Firebase, jsPDF) and I used it quite a bit at Origins. It's not a character-builder...I was too worried about including data found in the PHB and getting a C&D from WotC, particularly after Pathguy got temporarily shut down. So it works just like a blank character sheet. You fill in the values, but it will add them up. The cool thing is these are stored in the cloud and changes happen in real time across all devices. It also allows you to print filled or blank character sheets, adventure logs, notes, spellbooks, and table tents. You can easily duplicate characters to create them at different levels so you're ready to go for the con.

It's in closed beta now, mainly because I will have to pay a fee for the cloud-db if I want more than 50 simultaneous users.

If you are interested in checking it out, I'll add the first 20 requests to the beta. I just need a working email address for the username.

Game on!

So it's been ten hours and I haven't received a request. No one even wants to look at it? My DM loves it and he's pretty hard to please. Seriously, it's not a scam or anything. I work in IT (integration engineer), but I'm not a professional web developer; just a hobbyist. I also wrote a decker app in the Google Play store for 5th ed Shadow Run called Cyber-Deck. That's ok, but not nearly as good as this is.

I wrote Bullsheetz because I didn't want to lug a laptop to the gaming table, and definitely not a convention. I wanted to be able to always view and edit my characters from my smart phone. At Origins it was nice because I not only leveled, but also picked up two magic items and I still had another slot to play.

I love this website! For storing your 5E characters in an online site it's way cool, and free! Once you figure out how to enter everything and get the info in, the PDF it generates with your character is really cool. Nice work Gharan.
