Fari App v6 is now live!
New cloud infrastructure, better character sheet builder, and new drawing area
This update has been in the work since probably August 2021, but then I got a little busy in September since I had to take care of my little baby boy who is now 5 months old!
Nevertheless, I was finally able to wrap this up, test it and release it.
What's New
Fari App used to rely heavily on peer to peer technology, but no more. For speed, stability and maintainability reason, Fari App now uses cloud hosted provider called Liveblocks to handle its real-time features.
I want to say a huge thank you to the team over at Liveblocks for having helped me during integration and for giving the entire Fari community the opportunity to have the best online TTRPG experience there is.
This update also introduces more functionalities to create characters sheets builder by letting you split your sheet into multiple rows and columns. I'm also working on a sheet theme editor, so stay tuned for this.
Lastly, Fari App now has a new drawing area. There are still some rough edges I'm trying to fix as soon as possible, but I believe this new drawing area should give you more flexibility for when you want to depict your scenes.
One Last Thing...
I really want to make Fari App the VTT of the indie TTRPG community. For that reason, I've simplified the way to integrate official character sheets in the app, which allowed me to include amazing templates from members of our community like a
A Banda's Grove template (by Pandion Games)
A APOCALYPSE FRAME template (by Binary Games)
A Picaroon template (by Michael T Lombardi)
And more.
