Hey, I just ran my first ever DnD game last Sunday (I have done other systems in the past, just never DnD). Great experience, made wholly better by DnD Beyond for helping to get the party generated, organised, etc.
One thing that I'd ask for as a DM, however, is the ability to bulk add XP to the whole party in one go, rather than a) let them do it themselves, or b) do it myself to character individually. Ideally, have a button accessible only by the DM on a campaign page that opens a requester for how much XP to add, check boxes for the characters in the campaign (to select if they get the xp or not - I'll be awarding module XP to all characters, but roleplay XP only to those actually at the sessions), and a big red + black 'ADD' button.

DM screens are on short term plans (so soonish). Hopefully this is one of its features.
Also I believe awarding rewards from the encounter builder/runner was mentioned, so maybe that'll include (auto calculated) XP too?

Fingers crossed!
