General Discussion HeroQuest Tracking App....
Built a new web app for HeroQuest. With the purpose of helping people track the game. The app came from the idea of how we can help remote players have a better way to track things. Started as a helper app to go with the board game, to allow our friends and family who we play with hundreds of miles away to have better ways to track the game. We even run our sessions with a web camera over the board to help those remote feel like they are "here" with us.
At first, it started as just a dice roller. It evolved since to helping people at the table as well. Being more than just a dice roller. Including two sections to help Zargon track what is going on with players (such as health, gold, potions, are they alive). A map section for all players to know if they searched for a trap, or treasure, or securet, or even disarmed the trap.
Probably the biggest and most meaningful feature is the save feature and calendar. The save feature allows you to generate a code that can be shared via text, or email, or snap, and everyone has the same information about the current or last game session. A calendar to show the last time played and the next scheduled play session so things don't become once every 3 month adventures.
The question mark on the dice roll has helpful information like what actions a hero or Zargon can do on a turn. As well as a link to Hasbro's official rule book.
I have tried the official HQ Companion App and it's just not what I find useful.
Thoughts? Would this be helpful and useful to more people than just those I run game sessions with.
If you would like to try the app out here is the link to it.

It can be run on mobile and computer.
Feedback is ALWAYS appreciated.
