Hello! My name is AvatarKage but you may better know me as the producer of Dragonights and now even as the founding developer of OpenProfile. You're probably wondering what exactly is OpenProfile?

Well, if you're like me and have written for over a decade, you probably own hundreds of original characters or OCs for short. Maybe you've even reached that 1k mark as I have. Keeping up with all that is really problematic as you have digital files and papers scatted all over making your needed information impossible to find. And that is where OpenProfile steps in. I created OpenProfile as an original character collaborative management and database application.

A place where you can make full profiles based of your characters and always find them right at your finger tips, wherever you are across the world, either privately within the security of your own cloud account (or via the offline application coming soon) or listed on our public database for fans to learn more about your characters and the universe that goes around them. And best of all, it's completely free to use.

And this is only just the beginning. OpenProfile is currently in the early-beta stage after returning from a long offline time from near year long alpha run.

Join today and become a next generation author with OpenProfile!

I'm so sorry- I feel like I don't know how to use this at all. Is there a tutorial somewhere I could read, or is it actually self explanitory and I'm not looking hard enough?

history
Its too early in beta for there to be a tutorial, but its basically just you go to dashboard, create a character, then click on the name to edit. There is edit overview which handles how the character appears in the dashboard and when published publicly. If you're worried about accidently publishing, you can always set its visibility to private so even if you did publish, only your account will ever be able to see it. Then there is an edit "Read" button at the bottom which is the general character info. A lot of help text is provided on each input box.

Also, I don't know if you want people to be picky, but I spotted a grammatical error and wasn't sure if you'd want to know about it as all, but I don't mean that rudely and I feel weird and bad for pointing it out

You can report all things you find through the report system (flag icon, top right) and I'll take a look eventually

Not sure if this is exactly a bug, but the fields in the character read are scrollable even though the boxes expand to fit more text (so having scrollable text is unnecessary). This makes it a bit annoying to scroll though the character read since it takes priority for scrolling through the boxes.

I'm wondering how the offline version is going to work.
I have the progressive app right now, but it's still online only.
