There should be a flag 'disadvantage' displayed on a Heavy weapon in the Attack section of my character sheet if my character is of size Small.
--> From Compendium : "Heavy. Small creatures have disadvantage on attack rolls with heavy weapons. A heavy weapon's size and bulk make it too large for a Small creature to use effectively."
Great recommendation! I'm hoping that this can be included in the upcoming character sheet overhaul. (They said to ignore the specific stats, as this was apparently a quick mockup to show the rest of the team the concept)
The team will need to designate disadvantage for stealth due to certain armor types. I'm guessing they will have a small "D" floating nearby the skill, maybe we can add the same function to attacks as well?
One of the reasons why development on this site is so time consuming is because it's all designed primarily with the many, many different mobile devices in mind, then desktop (this is much better than doing it the other way around, which almost always yields awful views on mobile).
So, rest assured, it will work and look good on mobile devices. :)

Hello,
It doesn't appear that this has been implemented yet as my small character is still able to shoot without disadvantage while using a longbow.

Well that's not true is it. It has disadvantage - DNDBeyond just doesn't show it. It's always worth remembering that just because DNDBeyond will let you do something - doesn't mean it follows the rules. It's your job to make sure you're following them regardless of what DNDBeyond says.
its 2022 and this is still and issue from 2017. what if the player and dm have no idea?! i dont know every single rule and until i stumbled upon this post i had no idea!

Sounds great indeed ! Nice preview btw. I wonder how it looks on mobile devices, since I mostly use the mobile site when I'm out for a game.

Excellent! That's the right design decision.
Can't wait to see the dedicated mobile app too, to skip the 1 second loading time there is currently on every action on the website.
Keep up the good work!! (^^)/

That said - it would be great if they added it.
