since I was a bit annoyed by the layer of cumbersomeness that involved filtering the sources in the filter-able list views for monsters, spells, equipment and the like, I made a small browser extension that does that for me. Upon installation, it visits https://dndbeyond.com/sources and remembers everything that has the "In Library" tag. When I now visit a page like https://dndbeyond.com/monsters without any filters, it will add the sources I own to as filter-source URL parameters and reloads the page. Of course, I can filter by other things afterwards easily.
There is a minimal config (what do I own?) in the Chrome storage, otherwise nothing is stored. Nothing is transferred anywhere. It's really just a small Quality-of-Life improvement that I wanted to share, perhaps it does help somebody here, too.
You can just bookmark a filtered list. Go to the relevant search, put in your book filters, click on filter monsters/spells/items/whatever, and bookmark the resulting url.
that is actually a great idea that I implemented for you and others. It might be that the script tries to grab the owned sources too soon and under certain race conditions not all content on the displayed page for automated setup might be available. I created an options page that is easily filter-able and selectable. The change is currently under review by the Google Chrome store team and it might be a couple of days until the new v1.2.0 is available that has your requested feature.
Thanks for the feedback! Much appreciated <3
@Pantagruel666: Yeah, you could to that, but i still find the User Experience to create the filter in the first place an absolute nightmare-ish experience. Use what works for you, my friend!

Hello everybody,

Have a great day!

I love the idea in concept, but it only seems to grab 8 sources rather than the full list I own. Not sure why it isn't capturing the rest.
Is there a way to let us manually configure what sources it uses?
