Minimal Character Sheet

A digital character sheet for D&D 5e. Create, edit, and manage your characters online with features for abilities, skills, spells, equipment, and more. Share character sheets with others or keep them private.

Setup

1. Install PHP dependencies:

   composer install

2. Install Node.js dependencies and build assets:

   npm install
   npm run prod

3. Create a .env file with your Postmark API key:

   POSTMARK_SECRET=your_postmark_api_key_here
   

4. Secure the data folder - ensure your web server blocks access to the /data directory as it contains the SQLite database.

Requirements

• PHP (v8 recommended but older versions may work)
• Node.js (for building frontend assets)
• Postmark account (for signup confirmation emails). You can rework the code to either not use this or use the provider of your choice. Perhaps I can make this easier to customize in a future update.

Built with

• PHP with Fat-Free Framework
• Vue.js 2 + Vuex
• SQLite database
• Laravel Mix for asset compilation

Developer roadmap

I don't love the dated frontend build step, but I'm also not looking to upgrade to Vite or any of the newer stuff. If I do update the frontend architecture, I will focus on removing the build step altogether and using JavaScript and CSS directly in the browser.
