I was thinking about what would be useful as a Dungeon master running Campaigns.
First off it is awesome to have all the characters at your finger tips and easy spots for notes. I have foun dbetween my trusty paper pad and D&DBeyond I am ahead of the mess of notes I used to have.
That said if there was a banner on the campaign screen that gave you important DM information it would be useful such as
Current HP of players
Passive perception and Investigation
AC and saving throws.
Spells per day left.
I don't know how complex that is to add as I am not a programmer but I feel like it would benefit most DM's . One of the questions I hate asking is what is your passive perception - It's fairtly leading that they need to stop and pay attention.
Is this Possible ?

You haven't played until you have played in a Castle.
I think the biggest problem is that DDB doesnt have a system in place for live update/syncing. The campaign page and character sheets don't reflect changes made by others until the page is refreshed.
But they have a system for Twitch integration that displays player hp and the like in stream don't they? Couldn't that feature be adapted? (assuming that it isn't something that was done on Twitch's end I'm not super sure on how that works)

Probably looking for something along what is being asked for here:

And clicking the browsers Refresh button when I need updated stats is not too difficult.
