I created a web tool to track and share your bag of holding online (extradimension.al)

I created extradimension.al after the party member who was tracking our bag of holding didn't show one session, and we had no idea what we had. It's got all the 5e items released under the OGL built in, and it's built with websockets so any items added or removed are seen in real time by everyone around the table.

Let me know if there's any features you think would be useful, I'm keen for feedback - especially if you give it a try with your playgroup.

I don't mean to pry but I'm curious where are you hosting this?

I envy that people host their projects. But I feel a lot of unease about opening ports to a machine that is tied to a check I'll receive. Hence I'm curious which service you've chosen

The main frontend and backed is hosted on vercel, there's a small we socket server that's hosted on digital ocean.

The ability to import new or custom items using JSON would be great. And support for custom fields in the process.

But how will that one player steal from the party if everyone can see inventory? How can they turn heel and backstab the party if everyone has access to the bag of holding? Think of the murderhobos. You’re putting those horrible people out of a job.

Love this kind of tool; built by somebody passionate about the hobby to help other people enjoy the hobby. Great work mate.
