Symbook
When I discovered the Swedish RPG Symbaroum, I was immediately smitten. The art, the tone, the setting—it all grabbed me immediately, and to large extent was everything I wanted to do with a game of my own; only it did it better. So my regular group and I got stuck in and played it extensively.
Immediately I saw the need for an easy and quick way to look up powers during the game, moreso even as the GM, juggling several NPCs or monsters at the same time. I grabbed all of the powers and massaged them into a JSON file, and lovingly wrapped that in a lightweight VueJS app, which essentially let you search through them and display them in a card-like fashion.
Because of the way it was built (i.e. in JavaScript), it was real easy to wrap with Cordova, and release it as native apps for iOS and Android. Well, easy, yes, but let us not forget the administration effort for the various app stores and the gathering of all the screenshots.
I even sprang for a hip .io domain.

Waka • May 6th, 2021 I love love love LOVE this app for my table playing this beautiful and amazing game so thank you for that! However I am really curious if it will start adding the additional rituals and abilities that have come with the Throne of Thorns Campaign Suite or not? Would be amazing if it would be updated to include all the cool new abilities!
