Hey guys! I'm absolutely thrilled to announce the newest project to add to the collection. This was a long time coming, honestly. After making Casting Call last year, I kept thinking off and on about how much I wished we could have a character directory with support for multiple filters on IJ without needing any programming languages, like in the Icon Directory.

The thing is, I did know exactly how to make that happen; I just worried about building it because I thought people might look at it and assume it was EXTREMELY complicated to use. So I put it off...

And put it off.

...and put it off.

Until I couldn't anymore, because I knew it would be really fun to make and, if I just documented the hell out of it, people would be able to use it like pros, headache-free. And now here we are, three weeks of building, styling, testing, debugging, and documenting later!
