would love to see a feature to enable viewing your bank and alts banks/inventory as well. not sure if this is planned or not. TIA

For the UI, I suggest adding an alts/realm/character menu to each of the bag/bank/reagents menus. The effect should be transient and should reset when the window is closed. The trickiest part is probably dealing with ancient items not in one's item cache on alts that haven't been recently visited.

This is something I've been considering as well. It's pretty low on the list right now, but it is planned.

I use Altoholic for that but the presentation is still basically the same as the array of stock bags. You could optionally depend on DataStore_Containers to grab the data for alts and present it with BetterBags rendering. I've done this to display Darkmoon cards available from all alts. https://github.com/SpareSimian/PotentialDarkmoonDecks

Just a thought, but could betterbags switch to using bagnon's library (it has a shared lib for the other shared frontend) as a backend? not certain if that would solve this. It would let you at least view your bank while away.

This would be an awesome feature. I also use Altoholic, but the bag presentation isn't as good as this add-on, and it also doesn't directly display the Warbank. I know Thaoky has done a lot of work to the datastore modules to make them more efficient, so you many want to consider using Datastore_Containers as someone else suggested, if you decide to implement this.

I'd also love to see this

I would love to see this. I've been an ArkInventory user for years and recently lost all my customization. I went with BetterBags because the categories by expansion are built in but I miss being able to search other locations.
