Requirements (MVP)

• User can view list of Monsters from D&D 5e
• User can search, filter, & sort list
• User can add Monsters to an "Encounter"
• User can look at all the Monsters added, and view each one's stats quickly & succinctly
• User can click a button for each of a Monster's actions/attacks to roll the appropriate dice
• User sees the result of the roll & damage in a side-bar
• User can scroll through to view the previous results from the action history

Todo (MVP)

• Done
• link to google photos for each monster
  • add rolls breakdown to action history - ex: 2d6+4 = 5 + 2 + 4 = 11 piercing dmg
  • parse damage rolls a little better
• Now
  • monster tile lengths are independant of one another
    • Multi-Column blog
    • MDN scc grid guide
• Next
  • while looking into new api, add a place to do rolls in header
    • keyboard shortcut to get there
• Later
  • MonsterList shows more and more info as screen gets bigger
  • style monsterlist to look more like table
  • style actionHistory better
  • style header better
  • figure out nested-routing so that I can do master-detail when screen gets big enough
  • Message Toast can be swiped away on touch screen
  • hide scroll-bar (or at least style to make thinner and nicer looking)
  • optimize performance
    • load only some monsterListItems at begining, and load more when scroll to the bottom
  • BUG: fix issue where sometimes site starts with 1st tab highlighted, but shows 2nd or 3rd tab in the view; something to do with it remembering where you last left off, but not applying the style changes to the tabs

Post-MVP

• figure out multi-attacks
• filters & sorts in MonsterList
• turn order
• ability to 1/2 or *2 the damage on the fly (or maybe just manipulate in any way with the keyboard)
• ADD A BACKEND:
  • user can login and save multiple encounters
  • maybe no login, just use cookies, and only save one encounter?
  • each saved encounter will only need to store a list of monster id's
