## Description

vCards is a contact avatar library and directory designed to enhance mobile caller identification. It provides a collection of profile pictures for Chinese public figures and organizations, delivering this data through CardDAV directories and vCard files.

The project enables the synchronization of these avatars to iOS and Android address books. This is achieved through CardDAV subscriptions for automated remote updates or via the import of standardized vCard files.

The system covers contact management and identity integration, focusing on the population of contact imagery to improve the visual identification of callers and messages on mobile devices.
