There are some bits of old-school that're just hard to believe we ever put up with...and I've been playing since White Box in '77. I listened to the first episode of a podcast yesterday; the DM said he'd chosen 3.5 and he'd be teaching the differences to his players.
About 10 minutes into the "introducing ourselves to each other" part of the opening play, one of the characters cast Dancing Lights to accompany a story he was telling his new friends in the typical tavern. The DM said "Okay, and mark off one of your uses of that spell".
His player's response was "No worries, it's 0-level, so I've got unlimited uses". The DM said "There are no free spells in this system, so you've just used one of your three for today."
His player sounded so disappointed when introduced to the old concept of "wasting a spell" that I'm concerned this isn't going to be my cup of tea; moving backwards in time is, of course, more difficult than moving forwards. Somehow we used to live in the environment of wizards having to throw daggers for a few to several hours of every adventuring day, but the more "modern" systems that let them keep using magic if they choose seem so much better.
Perhaps that's easy-mode, but D&D and its competitors have generally shifted more toward fun and story-telling than used to be the focus.
Perhaps an addition to the search function so that you can search only the text of books without also getting every mention in every thread of the same words?
Whenever I edit and save the PDFs created by dndbeyond, I find that almost all of the text is wiped from the template when I open it up again later.
I had the same problem, and my brother traced it to the oddities of fillable forms. Our solution: export from Beyond, then "print to PDF" instead of your printer, and then you'll have a "normal" PDF when you open the file you "printed".
The trouble is, it's no longer editable, so you'll need to make changes only in Beyond and then re-export. This method will give you a PDF you can open on other devices, send through email, and such.
My Sorcery Points are now showing up with checkboxes, but the the overall reads:

How about standard usage, using semi-colons to separate items in a list, when any item contains a comma?
"Crossbow, Hand; Longsword; Rapier; Shortsword; Simple Weapons"

They said...somewhere...that pre-requisites are yet to appear, but they're on the list for sooner-than-later.

Earlier in the thread the suggestion was to try first removing all homebrew, as not all of it got built "correctly" by the authors.

At the top right of every page of Beyond, just to the left of the "Notifications" bell, is the "Changelog" button.
