Roster info on android

So I got myself a tablet and am trying to get it so that I don't have to worry about paper any more.

I saw the roster builder at tabletop geeks but seems that just lets you start, not enhance. I saw the fillable PDF but I didn't have much luck with the xp boxes on the Android. I saw they have an army builder but those are generally for Warhammer Fantasy or 40k, not Mordheim.

Does anyone have any tips for these three possibilities or another way go paperless?

Thanks for the help,
odd

Not yet. I'm working on a concept similar to Tabletop Geeks that will allow for rosters throughout campaigns. I don't like Javascript though (give me a compiled language any day!) so going is slow. Won't be for another few months yet.

What you writing it in if not js?

It is in Javascript but I just don't have any patience with the language. The server side is PHP which I have been enjoying a but better but there is very little PHP required compared to Javascript.

The roster functionally is already nearly complete. The biggest challenge now is really creating the functionality to allow people to create and maintain their own rosters securely while allowing read-only viewable access to the public. I am not looking forward to creating the boring log in/log out functionality that is necessary to make the site useful for people other than me.

Odd, you can also use software for generating random dice then you can be paperless and diceless!

I don't think I would want to go diceless. Takes away from the game a bit...

Yeah, I like rolling dice and even though I could currently go diceless for D&D I still like the rolling.

Lemming if you need help with JS you can let me know, I'm decent at it (but am not a Guru by any stretch).

For me it's the same with pen and paper also...

Thanks for the offer, odd, it is very generous. At this stage I just need to look into the option of using frameworks/templates for Javascript and PHP that have been tried and tested. Log in/log out functionality has been done for decades so it shouldn't be necessary for anyone to re-invent the wheel. If I find one then that should make it fairly easy to implement this last core bit of functionality.
