Quick question. I'm a bit confused as to what the difference is between Datasets and Current Data are. Can I get an explanation?

Sure!

Datasets are created in Oggdude's DataEditor. You can add your custom stuff using the DataEditor. Then you can export a "dataset" as a .zip file. If you upload your custom dataset then Datapad will allow you to load it.

The Current Data contains changes you make in Datapad itself. It acts as a backup of changes you make. For example, if you edit your XP in Datapad, or your cash balance. You can also buy and sell stuff in datapad, and the history of these transaction is stored in Current Data.

Download Current Data, and you will see that it is fairly readable.

Any chance https could be enabled for your site? Maybe through Let's Encrypt or something? Updated browser and now everytime we use it we are getting 'this isn't encrypted, are you sure you want go there'.

Hey, first of all, thanks so much for this tool. It has been so helpful for my group through COVID, and I imagine we'll continue to use it post COVID as well

I noticed you can set the host in the app. I was wondering what kind of API endpoints need to be satisfied to be able to host a custom instance of the server.

It would be pretty cool to be able to sync up the PCs of my player group in between sessions, and was hoping I could whip something to do just that.

Thanks again for the tool!

Here's the thing: I have been thinking about this for a while, and I would like the user's of this program to take responsibility for keeping it alive (see below)!

The Datapad source code is already available on bitbucket.org. I can add the server-side code (which is PHP) to that. However, I just had a looked and things are changing there. Biggest problem is that the are about to shutdown the HG repositories, so I have to move it to GIT by the end of the month!

In the process, maybe I will just move the whole thing to github.com which is popular for open source projects.

I will post a message here, within the next few weeks to say which way things are heading.
