Ideas for v0.6

If I ever get v0.5 to run on an iPhone, here are some ideas for v0.6:

Expandable UI
Depending on the size of browser viewport, the UI will reconfigure itself to better utilize the available space. Thinking the 2-column sections go 3 or 4, eliminate multiple edit screens (leaving just main and edit).

Also, the Google Drawing app is just about "good enough". Still needs connectors.

Multi-class support
See later post for details.

Fast character switching
Currently, switching between characters requires a full reload of the webapp, should be able to change change character data without loading all the application data.

Use Google CDN for JQuery resources
The images for the JQueryUI haven't displayed correctly since I moved to CouchDB. Hopefully will fix that.

Support for Pathfinder would be very cool indeed!

Hi Thomas,

Assuming the mechanics in Pathfinder are the same as 3.5e, version 0.5 makes it possible to load additional feats, skills, and spells. If you're game, I'd like to add additional data.

There's no fancy UI, but you can get the format from the existing data:

http://backdraft.cs.binghamton.edu:8080/cm-dev/hrothgar/skills.js
http://backdraft.cs.binghamton.edu:8080/cm-dev/hrothgar/feats.js
http://backdraft.cs.binghamton.edu:8080/cm-dev/hrothgar/spells.js

Create a new file and just plug in the stuff in the right place. Name the tag "pathfinder", send it to me and I'll load it into the database.

You get access to that stuff from the opt->Extended Data option.

Shoot me an email if you're interested.
