I've been checking out the site (love it so far) since the Beta started. Due to scheduling issues, this weekend was the first chance I had to really give it a go at the table.
I was using it on a small laptop (lenovo thinkpad) that I use for gaming.
One thing that I did that was really helpful was having a rule that I knew would come into play up on a separate tab so that I could get to it really quick when it was needed.
I didn't need to use it to reference any monsters this go 'round, as I already had that in my notes, but I could very much see doing that via tabs as well, and just having to worry about keeping track of HP, actions, conditions as I'm running things.
The only thing that I wished for was a search in the compendium area. I still had to search around for specific rules and while it was probably faster than grabbing the book, it still felt kind of slow when everyone is waiting on you to make a judgement call.
I think it has been mentioned that this is coming, and if that is true, then this I wouldn't have any complaints at all about how things went this weekend.
Thanks for all the hard work that has gone into creating this!

Hi, Smeesher, thank you for your feedback. I can guarantee that there will be an omni-search at some point before the release of D&D Beyond. :)
