What are your biggest problems with 5e or things you think can improve the system?(unrelated to class revisions)
Giffyglyph's monster maker is one I use, as well as the Revenge of the Horde books (which expand the goblinoid selections immensely).

Wizards backs down on OGL 1.0a Deauthorization, moves forward with Creative Commons SRD
Looking around, I found this GitGub project that converts it all into Markdown, maybe this will be useful?

Wizards of the Coast Releases SRD Under Creative Commons License
WotC's PDFs are untagged and convert poorly, so if you want a Markdown version, try https://srd.wiki.
If you absolutely must convert it yourself, use pdfminer, which does a good job with the columns and doesn't need a ton of editing to smooth out.

Online Systems outside of DnDBeyond.
Well for note keeping there is https://obsidian.md/ - which you can pull the entire SRD down to your vault (https://github.com/OldManUmby/DND.SRD.Wiki) . Josh Plunkett has a great set of videos on how to use for TTRPG https://www.youtube.com/c/JoshPlunkett

OldManUmby's "D&D SRD Remastered" is an elegant version of 5e SRD splitted to separate Markdown files(every spell, class, magic item, monster). Ideal for multiple members team for eg. translating every single file by other person. https://github.com/OldManUmby/DND.SRD.Wiki

Emacs as my DnD environment
- https://ogl-srd5.com SRD as a giant markdown file. I used MDSaw to split this file up, and then you can basically search the SRD using something like grep/ripgrep. Or you can use pandoc to convert it to org, and then use org-agenda on that.

DMs: a wiki is your best friend
I use Outline which is very slick and modern. It supports Markdown (just like Reddit) so it's very fast and easy to write in and makes it convenient to import the SRD.

What do you use to write?
