Hey all, I love D&D beyond! Its a great tool, but I can think of one convenience feature that would help me a lot. I often use the site as reference while I am writing adventures, and getting quickly between different rulebooks, campaigns, characters, etc is not very quick. I often have to use the drop-down menu to get to a specific book or section I want to navigate too, and the drop downs are occasionally unforgiving and disappear at inopportune times.
Context:
When you just click the 'my content' link in the navigation bar, you are greeted with a 4 panel navigation that shows links and images for the pages lower in the hierarchy. This page isn't terribly useful by itself.
The 'Compendium' drop down does shows ALL of the available books regardless of whether you own that content or not.
Proposed Change:
Clicking the 'My Content' header could show an overview of all of the content that is relevant to me. I would love for this page to be a sort of default user homepage for my D&D beyond stuff. All of the suggested content below could be small, quick reference and minimal, focusing on getting you to the specific content that is relevant to YOU.
Characters - Show quick links to specific characters, ordered by whichever one had the most recent change.
Campaigns - Similar to the characters tab, show quick links to campaigns, and (if there is room) specific characters in those campaigns.
Bookshelf - Show me links to content I have purchased and frequently reference (or just let me choose which to show in my bookshelf).
Bookmarks - I use some pages VERY often (Human name lists from Xanathars Guide for instance!). I can, of course, bookmark these in my browser bar, but I see a lot of utility in keeping that information here on the site.
Homebrew - I don't use the home-brew stuff nearly as much as the other stuff, so you'd probably want to ask an avid home brewer what they would want to see on a page like this.
Thanks for reading!
