The community is really catching on to this new VTT and building a lot out for it-- and the best part, it runs in-browser, which is the same direction HLO is going.
In Foundry VTT, Beyond20 already successfully links D&D Beyond character sheets to D&D 5e games, so you can roll on your D&D Beyond character sheet and it rolls it in the VTT.
Players don't have to download anything to play along and the games didn't lag or drop people (here's looking at you Fantasy Grounds Unity)...
On top of that, it has an export function (albeit, not automated).
Do the developers here have this great, promising new VTT on their radar?
It may be an easy win due to the way it's designed.
And being very affordable, it could help corner the market for online Starfinder games, as no other integration of this type seems to exist anywhere!
Some food for thought.

Pathfinder 2E in Foundry is already well beyond Roll20 and advancing quickly. 5E in Foundry is simply amazing, there is even "VTTA D&D Beyond" which allows importing of licensed content from D&D Beyond and the author has already been in talks to validate this with them.
Nethys was in the FoundryVTT channels just a day or two ago discussing Foundry and his actions. So it has actual traction and visibility as well as active and growing Dev Community.
All Wolflair needs to do is open an API or Export of the character sheet and the integration will be built.
