Hey chooms! It’s me again. You might remember me from my posts a couple of months ago, or from some lovely people who shouted out the tool in various Discords and other posts.
I wanted to share a quick update y'all have been blowing it up! We're almost at 300 screamsheets created which is insane, I never thought something I built would get that much use but here we are. Now for an update on what I’m planning to work on next to make the tool faster, more streamlined, and generally better to use:
- Faster load times – I’ll be optimizing some of the content and performance behind the scenes. I won’t get into the technical details here, but I’ll probably cover them in a follow-up once everything is finished
- Drag-and-drop builder – I’m hoping to let you drag and drop blocks directly into the editor instead of the current click heavy flow
- Auto-saved drafts – No promises yet—I’m still figuring out the best way to implement this—but I’ll do my best
- A usable mobile builder experience – The goal is to make building on mobile actually practical instead of miserable
- Some fun animations, because I can
- Better sheet print/pdf preview – For anyone who wants to print their screamsheets, I’m hoping this will be better than the current PDF preview. I’d definitely appreciate feedback once it’s live
- Probably an actual domain name
- Maybe a sort of feed of different sheets that opt in? (this one is a bit harder and subject to popular opinion; the others I'm gonna do because I want to)
- Some other things as I think of them? I only had the above planned but things change
If you’re already using the tool, you’ll probably notice these changes as they roll out over the next couple of weeks. Feel free to leave comments, suggestions, or bug reports as things come through.
And here’s the current link, in case you don't have it yet:

Also, a small side note: I was influenced by my mainline to start an Etsy shop after buying a laser engraver, color printer, and laser cutter—and now I need to make it earn its keep (super cool machine and I will answer questions about it if I have the answer about it).
Once I’ve experimented a bit and have product photos, I’ll link the shop on the website. Absolutely no pressure to buy anything, but checking it out would be appreciated. Right now, I’m thinking about personalized character tokens, engraved TCG boxes that could double as accessory or dice boxes, and a few other ideas once I figure them out (potentially also laser engraved screamsheets?? Or if I can link to some PoD service then paper/poster ones though you all could definitely print your own (obviously)).
Thanks for checking my tool out and I hope you get a lot of use out of it!
