If you can work the time in to update the extension for the character sheet revamp, that would be awesome. My players love this one and miss it already :)
I have investigated the HTML / CSS of the new character sheet - as I expected, it will require a rewrite for the most part of the character sheet java script module thats injected in. On the plus side, I should be able to do this server-server and not require an extension update - I think haha.
As I do this on my free time, I don't know when it will be done but I am hoping ASAP as my campaign *heavily* uses this and we tried a game last night and it was like going back to the stone age haha. I will post updates as they come.
In the below screen shots, everywhere that is marked in a blue circle is now a clickable area that will trigger my extension. The classic die that shows up I have disabled as the new character sheet style makes it hard to place basically anywhere so I focused instead on the core functionality over looks for the first prototype.
This is not 100% complete, there will be edge cases, side panel is 0% implemented, and there is still lots to do left!
However, at least for now for what I think should be 99% of use case, it should work! If you have any questions, suggestions and more importantly bugs or issues please let me know asap! There is still a lot to do and I plan to get it working 100% over the next week or two slowly through small updates but hopefully this will help you and your players for now!
1) There was a bug with initiative rolling, it was not using the modifier just rolling a straight D20. This has been fixed.
2) The extension now works with shared character pages. When this feature was added the URL was changed enough to break the URL pattern matching but I have seen updated the logic so you can now share a character sheet with someone with the extension and have it works. Useful for when a character is missing from a session and another player is willing to play that character :)
Also, the website at https://dndbeyondextension.bitsinbytes.com/ is down (at this precise moment.) I'll keep checking in case I happened to hit during a maintenance window, but if it's no longer running, can you let us know?
The site is down as I moved everything in the back end to azure but lost the site in that process, it might come back online at a later time.
Work has been been insanely busy this summer (it is our busy time, weird I know haha). I have not had any time to touch any side projects which this extension falls into it in the last 4-5 months. Things are starting to lighten up and I have been getting back into the code and re-learning my code. I am rewriting the entire extension because after digging into the firefox port and trying to do it, it requires so many changes to the original extension because of how firefox does things that it does not make sense to create a port but instead make a single code base for both.
What I am doing is turning the C# back end service code into OO Javascript that will run on the client side, rewriting everything into strict JS objects and rewriting the dice rolling API I made because its not flexible enough. It is a lot of changes but when its done the entire extension will be client side only, pure JS and open source. Which means if people want to make changes or improve it, they can. I am still on the "C# to Client side JS" part because it is the biggest part. I am hoping to break as little functionality with it, but the reason it was in C# was because I had some stuff that could not be open source - I hope the resulting functionality is as good or close to it.
No eta I can give though. I will be posting the github repo when things are getting closer to being done and functional.
I loved the fact that everybody had the same coding for every browsers... now it seems Edge, Firefox and Chrome have all very very different coding which makes the printing and addons extension a hell for developpers... one should think of compatibility and right now none of them do. they just decided i'll create my own coding and [censured] the rest. i seriously think that is messed up. programmers should at least search a way to make HTML5 a stapple, not a bunch of browser specific deals.

I just discovered this extension. Fantastic job. It is greatly appreciated.
Not as important, but is there a way to include the sounds of the dice rolling? I think that would make this even more awesome Though that's just me. Thanks once again for the great job!
I downloaded this extension a few months back. It works great. Now some of my friends are trying to use but we cannot find it anywhere. anybody know where I can download it from?
I've been using this extension for a year now and It's amazing... but I bought a new computer and it isn't available anymore...This was the best dice roller there was.

Became a senior tech lead of my company, now have weekly 5 hour DND sessions, bought a house, girlfriend moved in and got two baby Bengals. It has been so busy I have not had time to properly maintain this, sorry everyone.
I actually am actually about 70% done a "version 2", almost finished it at the start of this year before things got insane. It is entirely java-script, entirely client side code and *open source*. I am hoping to get some time this fall to work on it and finish it. I put it off and stopped working on it because I though this functionality by now would be entirely built into DND Beyond.

Just checking on the Firefox port. :)

Thanks for all your hard work on this.
The firefox port / open source is still a thing!
