These are pretty minor so I didn't want to make two separate threads for them.
Spells - I think the most valuable thing you guys offer is the ability to root through a bunch of spells quickly. I own the books but occasionally I just want to see spells of a specific type or class. I love that I can sort on your website that way. My thought was in regards to spells that are in resources not purchased. From the list I can see some basic info of course, then clicking prompts the "buy this resource!" message, which is fine, I'll grab my book if I need to see the spell's particulars. But what I actually need is WHO can cast it. Wizard, forge domain cleric, etc. Otherwise I have to pull out all my books and cross-reference a bunch of lists.I was wondering if that's something you considered adding? Info that's not actually included with the spell, but adds some extra usability for those of us who are just using the site as a tool to cut down our DM time? I'd even pay a minor subscription for something like that, 2 bucks a month just to be able to see that bit of info. Anyway, it's a thought.
Monsters - Is it possible at all to add planes of existence to the monster sorting? There's no way to look up monsters typically native to the feywild or shadowfell. I spent hours last night reading through monster descriptions in my books to find references for what lives where. Even if I had the books on D&D Beyond I wouldn't have found that info with your filters.
I think you guys offer a great, essential tool, for players and DMs, whether they've paid or not. I'm not in a spot where I can double purchase my resources, but I seriously appreciate your platform. Thanks for your time.
You can filter the spells search by class, by clicking the icons for each class across the top of the spells page.
When viewing any spell, it states at the bottom of the spell which classes can cast that spell. You'll probably need to have the spell unlocked on D&D Beyond to see this though.
Monsters
I can see that being frustrating to find easily. The main problem with doing this is - all information in the filters is data taken from the stat blocks published by Wizards of the Coast. On reviewing some of those, I don't see any information there that states a native "plane of existence" for monsters. It's something that seems to have been downplayed in 5th edition, compared to previous editions.
You can certainly call up a list of all Fey though by clicking the Fey monster type at the top of the page and that will give you a good idea on creatures in the FeyWild for your session.
If you read carefully, you'll see I am requesting that the "who can cast" info shows even if you do not own the resource. That is specifically what I'm requesting be added to the UNPURCHASED spell boxes. That's my feedback. I am often not searching for a specific class, but a general "who can cast this?" and find your tool is not useful for that.
Monsters - I was pretty sure there isn't a plane reference with the stat blocks (I know I can sort by Fey), meaning someone would manually need to tag those monsters. It was just some feedback.

Hi there,
first off, thanks for the feedback!

Everything you've asked for is already present!
