Anyone know of a good, platform agnostic way of getting character sheets onto mobile devices?
So far I know:
* Form Fillable PDFs work but won't scale and the saving mechanism in browsers is awkward (they download a new copy)
* Plain text works but isn't as readable when there's lots going on
* A webapp would work, but would need to rely on either localstorage (likely to get cleared) or an account/link systemMaybe a webapp that has a script to intepret link data as sheet info?

@htugboat Specifically a homebrew one of mine, but more generally for any game you might want to play with a mobile sheet without paying for a service like DnDBeyond

@benrob0329 Ah, I see. Yeah, I'd suggest the third option then. You can also connect it to something like Dropbox or Google Files and save the character as JSON there. A lot of games and other web software do that. Your idea of having the data encoded the URL would work great too.
You wouldn't need to host any backend to make it work.
