Given current and most likely permanent issues with DnD Beyond im looking for some other app.
I guess there is nothing what would connect to my difital content so in even willing to transit to different system similiar to DnD
Since the issues began, quite a few ppl mentioned Daggerheart. I was skeptical about that because i was happy with 5E and dnd beyond, but...
Im looking for something what let me create a new cahracters without hussle. Something where i can just point players and they will be able to create characters similiary like in DnD Beyond
Interactive sheets would be nice, but its not a must. I do t have problems with pen and paper as long as my players can create and level up chracter without listing on books and counting everything.
Most 3rd party sites that would do what you want are not using licensed content, and so discussing them here would lead to moderator action. Just a heads up to you.

There is nothing that is going to really be 'better' than DDB for 5e. This is a natural conclusion reached just by understanding what other platforms actually provide services for. Roll20/Demiplane have 5e content, but they also have a dozen other systems that occupy their development time and resources; Demiplane has been in 5e development since OGL and they had already developed their platform by this time, with no end in sight for their finished 5e product. This is not a criticism of Demiplane, it is just trying to communicate the understanding that nothing they are doing really translates 1:1 from one game system to another; they have to build it each time and that will take a lot of time.
Now that Roll20 owns Demiplane, you do get to benefit from all your purchases on Roll20 carry over to Demiplane, but again, you will be waiting a looooooooooooooooooong time for any of that to happen in a satisfying way.
This applies, as well, to other systems on this and other websites like it. Daggerheart is cool and worth a look. I was part of their closed beta, which was fine, and now their finished product is even better, but it is a very different system from 5e. The D&D inspiration is obvious, but it is very much focused on the narrative and what serves the story, kind of like Avatar does. There are not hard limits like "5ft, 10ft, 60ft range". It is instead, "short range, medium range, long range" with some rough guidelines of what that is, but the specifics will be up to the GM and player. That will be great at some tables, but difficult at others. My personal feelings are that this is a great game where the table all trusts each other.

Well Daggerheart sounds more and more intersting. I actually like more that narrative style - CR is kindy my cup of tea.
Just so far i had no reasson to look into it, but since its look like my content in DnDB is kinda useleas, it seems like possible way
