A simple web browser extension that automatically converts all imperial units to metric units, on the D&D Beyond website.
Beyond Metric is available on Safari for Mac, Safari for iPhone/iPad, Chrome and Firefox.
This project started after my players were concerned that because of imperial units they had a difficult time judging distances during our games. I searched around and found only one extension funnily named Beyond Metric but it was not maintained and was only available on Chrome. So for the pleasure of my players and you, dear reader, thus was created Metric Beyond. I will maintain it as long as I have the time and can pay the Apple Developer license.
Simply download the extension depending on where you want it installed. Here is the list of links:
- For Safari on iPhone/iPad, it is available on the App Store
- For Safari on Mac, it is also available on the App Store
- For Chrome, it is available on the Chrome Web Store
- For Firefox, it is available on Firefox Add-Ons
Safari users, remember to enable the extension in the settings:
- On iPhone/iPad: Open the Settings App > Scroll down and tap on Safari > Scroll down and tap on Extensions > Tap Metric Beyond > Enable Metric Beyond > Under Permission allow dndbeyond.com
- On Mac: Open Safari > Click on Safari in the top left corner > Click on Settings > Click on Extensions > Tick the box next to Metric Beyond.
The first time you use the extension, it will ask for access to the D&D Beyond website, choose always allow. And you're done ! Now let the extension work its magic.
No. Metric Beyond is a web browser extension and thus only works on the supported browsers, i.e. Safari, Chrome and Firefox. It is not possible to modify the D&D Beyond app, only D&D Beyond themselves can do that.
Maybe! Send me an email at metricbeyond@gmail.com or add an issue to this repository (if you know how to), and I'll see what I can do.
If you find a bug orr something that isn't being converted then you can send me an email at metricbeyond@gmail.com or add an issue to this repository, with as much details as possible. A screenshot of the bug or missing conversion is a minimum.
Sure you can, sweetheart! Although I don't need help with the code, you can definitely help by sending feedback, suggestions of features, or even a little tip if you can.
