Families struggle to keep household information and records organized
People managing household and family records want to keep useful information, documents, and belongings easy to find across everyday life, health, and estate tasks. The evidence shows DIY household websites require technical effort, while inheritance paperwork can feel tedious and a commenter balked at a $100-per-year estate-document service. A general household hub could address much of this, though the signals span several distinct jobs.

Is there an app for building a household intranet? I have been thinking this should be a thing for decades now. I mean, sure I can hand code a website that has links to PDFs of manuals for our appliances & details on household stuff & links to local restaurants but . . . it should be easier
I would love to have something like this for other use cases, such as medical. I would imagine the app to have entities such as medical procedures, tests, diagnosis, doc visits, along with all the associated medical artifacts such as prescriptions, and test reports
