A bit more background - my idea is to make it easy to create any kind of shareable list or collection, wish lists being just one specific kind. Other examples might be:

* 'Top-ten" type lists of movies, music, etc.

* List of items to compare by criteria/specifications, e.g. motherboards.

* Visual lists/galleries of things e.g. server cases. Like Pinterest/tinypin (https://github.com/slynn1324/tinypin).

* Polls/surveys - where you can put votes/comments/answers against items on a list.

* To-do lists, like trello - move items through a workflow - backlog/doing/done.

You could invite collaborators to view/edit, add images/video, make lists public/private, make fields mandatory/optional, import/export to common formats etc.

Kind of like koillection(https://github.com/koillection/koillection/) mixed with an Amazon wish list if that makes sense?

I think it's possible to achieve something similar with other more general tools like Airtable, Nocodb, GSuite etc but they're less focussed on lists and you have to do a bit of work to get them looking presentable.

Just wondering if anyone else would find this useful and what they might want from it.
