Battle Report Builder v1 - comments, feedback and suggestions needed

Hello

I have begun building a Battle Report Builder. The aim is to allow anyone to create a great looking, interesting and sharable battle report.

The following screen shots on Imgur (http://imgur.com/a/HC6Vr) show version 1, a work in progress. I have used Army Builder's HTML output to display army lists - hence why I am posting here.

I am interested in your thoughts on this project, would you use it, whats missing, what do you like/hate, etc.

A quick run down of elements I have working so far

  • Registration, log in and profile
  • Create and edit report
  • Select your forces for two teams, two players per team and two detachments per player
  • Add and display Army Builder HTML files
  • Add text to each turn and display that text

What is next

  • The next piece of development is going to be notable events for each turn, or possibly one event for the whole battle. A kind of if you read one thing, read this!
  • I need to get images working too, as this is going to be a major make or break area.
  • An MVP or Man of the Match style section.
  • BFU (Buggest F*** Up)
  • Notable events per turn or per game - e.g. If you read one thing, read this....
  • I need to also start on outputting the reports in a none editor style, I am thinking 4 different views, presentation mode, full text mode, gallery (images only) and summary mode
  • Battlescribe import

Great idea! I don't know any tool that helps with this and for that reason Battle reporting is a manual thing.

Let us know of your advances and maybe we can help with some suggestions.
