#also not writin for native bc i dont give a fuck rn

[official-js]

chat i have a connundrum

so basically i fuckin hate dnd beyond bc it sucks ass esp for homebrewing shit so i decided "what if i made it myself but better for me and my usecase"

i had that idea back in like june and ive tried making it a good few times since then but restarting quickly due to either:

having a massive change in the design/functionality of the thing

getting sidetracked and coming back later

wanting to choose a diff framework/stack

ive written these all in js btw

ive found one js full stack framework which after messing about in feels really nice to use HOWEVER ive been watching some other web shit on yt and im kinda tempted to try using a different language so these are the options

(ill be away for a few days and i forgor which day i get back but ill check this when i do get back)

i have a decent idea of how chars/homebrew/etc would be stored in the json and thats independent of the framework

i have pretty good experience in js/ts/react and tanstack start isnt that complex + its only in alpha rn

ive spent like. 2 hours or smthn messin around w rust i havent got past chapter 2 in the book

ive never used go but ive heard good things about it and it seems a little simpler than rust

never used php and idk how it works really (its much better than it was in 2012 (source: youtubers with decent programing takes imo + the snippets in the examples of improvements look good))

ive messed w tailwind a little and i have (imo) decent skills in css and html so that wont be a barrier

note that im designing this in such a way that security and performance arent really concerns as it would be (ideally) deployed to something like a raspberry pi running on LAN and maybe using smthn like git or syncthing or ssh or something to gain access outwith the LAN if you need that

it would also be designed with trust of users in mind so stuff like proper auth and permissions wouldnt be in place it would be very simplistic (they may come later but not in v1 at least)

again its primarally for personal use but yeah

if u got questions abt how it works etc lmk also if u have any tips for go/rust/php development w this typa stack lmk!!!

note i havent done any research other than passive knowledge via yt and also breif google searches so ill prolly do a lil more research later :3

pre-emptive if ur gonna tell me to use pathfinder or some other ttrpg system: shut up please i know dnd kinda sucks but it works for our campaign, we r mid campaign, and this is what everyone knows so please. shush

edit: i just realised php doesnt let u edit the page contents without refreshing/redirecting and there would be enough interactivity (which to my knowledge could be done w htmx) that it wouldnt work well so php is out of the picture
