Hey everyone!
Long time since the last major update on the app. I've been very busy handling a new little baby at home, some big renovations, and some amazing other TTRPG related projects!
That being said, let's talk about what is new in Fari App v6.4.0.
Chat
Fari App now has a chat feature! That's right, you can now write messages to the other players, roll dice using standard dicer notations, and more! Fun little tip, you can use the arrow up and down to navigate between the latest dice rolls you've made. Cool eh?
Better Dice Rolls
To support the inline dice rolls in the chat, I had to rework the entire dice roller logic. This is a bit technical, but will allow me to better support new enhancements to how dice are integrated, rolled, and even displayed across the app. You'll notice a bunch of little UI updates as to how dice are displayed in the app for this reason.
New Session UX
This one took a while, but I worked on creating a new user experience for the session screen. You can now create custom status per player to track initiative or other random things, character sheets are now displayed fully, but you can switch between them using tabs at the top. Everything is slicker, and faster too! I've upgraded all the tech behind the app (took a while), but that makes the app so much more fast.
Auto save
As you can see in the screenshot above, there is no more a
save
button in the character sheets in the session screen. That's because Fari App now auto-saves your character every time you update it. This should save you tons of clicks, and make sure you always have the latest version of the changes saved in your data.Feedback
