Yeah, I think so too. Most of the people I’ve talked to would probably place themselves in the “power user” category.
As far as I can tell every VTT I’ve seen is trying to design for that kind of user so I think they’re probably pretty well-served. If you wanna spend a lot of time with your tool you’ll probably have good luck with MapTool and Fantasy Grounds. Astral in particular feels Shmeppy-esque but with high-detail maps.
I don’t really wanna go head-to-head with every other VTT out there. My big bet with Shmeppy is that there’s a big market of non power users, or even “I may consider myself a power-user but hot damn I this speed and convenience is great sometimes.”
It really is a bet though… It’s gonna be harder to reach those non power users because they’re not the ones checking out new VTTs on the market. And I suspect power users are going to be both frustrated by Shmeppy and vocal about that frustration. It may be that I’m forced by market pressures to pivot and change up Shmeppy’s goals. I hope not though. We’ll see.
Edit: I wonder how much marketing/branding will help with this. Setting expectations that Shmeppy will not serve all of your needs if you have lots of needs, and may instead just totally nail a subset of your needs way better than anyone else, but could leave you wanting.
