Is your feature request related to a problem?
When playing with Play by Post, I will frequently be on different devices depending on when and where I want to play. Having the GM instance of the Initiative Tracker tied to a particular browser window on a particular device means that I cannot advance the round where I am, when I need to.
Also, if I mistakenly close the browser window or if the browser crashes, then I won't be able to recover the GM session.
Describe the solution you'd like
When creating a new session for Initiative Tracker, the GM is prompted to enter a password. At any time, from any browser with the player view open, the GM can press a button, enter the password, and the browser switches to the GM view.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Paper and pencil, or keeping initiative on a notes app that gets synced to other devices.
Use Case
Describe how this feature would be used in actual gameplay. For example:
- As a DM, I want to adjust the HP of a combatant or advance the current combatant from any device I have handy
Additional Context
N/A
Pathfinder 2e Relevance (if applicable)
No
Implementation Suggestions (Optional)
The password can just be stored in clear text in the firebase database. No need for heavy encryption as there's no Personal Identifiable Information.
