Thanks! I think I found you on LinkedIn, sent you a msg there with my email.

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.

This is quick and easy. However if you need to work across more than one branch it might become tricky to manage, might need to cherry-pick commits carefully.

I think this solves the problem really well, allowing source control on the separate folder as well.

This works really well to hide stuff from the public repo. The only downside is I don't think it's possible to then use source control on the ignored files in that folder. But if that's not a requirement it's probably the best way to go.

I was disappointed when I read 2024, we need this now! I interrailed in Europe back in 2001, some trains were good (France), some were very bad (Italy)
