Check out https://moo.do. It's a to-do list, outliner, calendar, and email all in one. It sounds like it would work well for what you're looking for. If not, let me know and I'll try to make it better for your use case.
One specific use case that I have in mind is to stick a tablet with a calendar to the fridge. It should be a shared calendar between me and my wife. I'm wondering how can I achieve that.
From what I see I could create a group calendar in Google Calendar. Then probably me and my wife could have separate moo.do accounts and put things on this group calendar. On our phones it would be easy. But question is how to deal with it on a shared tablet.
Or we could have one account with all our e-mail accounts and share a calendar this way.
One thing that is beyond scope of moo.do is to have an alias per contact. Maybe not for all contacts, but for most services. I know I can kinda emulate this with gmail's address+whatever@gmail.com. There are few problems with it. '+' sign is considered invalid by dumber services that I may have no choice of avoiding. Also it requires exposing main address - removing of postfix is easy. I could dedicate account for this and never use the address without a postfix, tagging anything that came to the main address as a spam.
So it can work, but is a bit tedious, because it is not automated. I would like to have a separate pool for addresses. I then can create a new address/"slot" for a contact. I could use it for some service and if I would ever resign from this service I would remove the address. And if I would ever receive spam on one of the assigned addresses I would know which service is not trustworthy. That would also make it easier to prepare filters.
