A self-hosted character manager for tabletop RPGs
Character Keeper is a web app for storing and managing character sheets. It is meant to work across different game systems instead of being tied to one ruleset. The app is built with React, Node, and JSON.
Its maker is not a professional developer and used Claude heavily for design choices and feature work. The feature ideas, product decisions, and testing were still handled by the maker. Security checks have included OWASP ZAP scans and focused on login, sharing, and data handling.
A stronger is still wanted before the app is treated as fully public-ready.
