I'm making a D&D combat tracking app for DMs that tracks initiative, HP, and maybe even eventually position/AOE/effects. I was wondering what features you guys would like to see in it and how you would like to lay it out and have it work. If you have any recommendations please let me know and I will try and take them into account while designing the app. My idea was to make it either run as offline HTML in a browser or as a Windows, Linux, and MacOS application. That second route is the one I'm more likely to take because it is the one I have more experience with. Also, no, I will not be porting this app to iOS or Android despite what any iPad Kids who see this want.

You already mentioned all the features I'm looking for in a combat tracker. As I'm playing live, I don't really need AoE templates or conditions to be available in the app. I have physical props for those. And as for VTTs, we use roll20 and DDB Maps which already have all the necessary features built in.
Out of curiosity, why are you building your own app? What is the problem you're trying to solve that the already available options don't include? Keep in mind that "I want to build an app myself" is a perfectly valid answer and there's nothing wrong in wanting to create one. I'm not trying to bash your idea, just curious.
