I just wanted point out one issue. When you create homebrew item and share it with people, there is no ay to track most recent item.
You have "Author" column which includes date, but it's not sorting by it. Because of that users are creatign content whcih starts with + ( " or things like "A very bad item" with na A in the front. So those creations will appear at the beginning of the list. This makes no sense because a lot of good creations are lost withing huge list of the items. If you would like to track the newest ones it's not possible to do so.
For example on page 1 of Homebrew Magic Items you will find an item like "2000gp amulet" which has only description "won from deck of many things" with 32 views , but there is a ton of a lot different content without too many views because they are not easilly visible on the list. For example my "Mask of Reflections" has only 4 views and probably will never get through other submissions because of this sorting defect. Yeah I know I sound like with the pain in the A** ;) but in fact I work as QA and I identify this as functionality crucial for such application, so people will be motivated to add new creations without the need to abuse the system like using special characters (+"
Please take a look into it.
