The mobile version kinda sucks honestly. I logged in and couldn't see anything but the border at the top and a fresh whiteish screen under it. I switched to view the desktop version and it went well. The navigation links at the top are a little hard to read. I understand this is beta and will be working on it. Just wanted to give a little input about my initial thoughts.
Also, your "jump to" locations jump to an anchor that is below the title. For example, if I jump to "Chaotic Good", I'm sitting at the description for it, not the header Chaotic Good. Makes me think I jumped to the wrong location or a random place on the page because of a miss-touch.
Save on real-estate with the mobile version by having multiple layers of information. For example, with the monster list, just list the ability names, not their full descriptions. Then as a hover-over/long-press show a particular abilities details. Like with Aboleth - just list Multiattack, Tentacle, Tail and Enslave (3/day) under Actions. Hover or long-press to then get the full description of what Tentacle attack would be. Go to the monster page to see it all revealed at once on one page. The whole idea with the mobile version of these pages it to quickly give you the information you want. If I wanted to be overwhelmed with every detail of every monster, I'd just flip through the book.
I just think they should construct this as a mobile app instead of me having to chrome it my phone. I may be wrong and they might be planning that already.
It actually works pretty well on my galaxy6 with chrome. I think it makes sense for them to concentrate on a web page first so that the greatest number of people can use it. Apps can come after they have it up and running.
