I started one. Well. Am starting one. It’s hasn’t “officially” launched yet.
It’s about lost golf balls that I find around my neighborhood. (I rent in a subdivision surrounded by , I think five golf courses). I take pictures of where I find them. Give them a little description and write a little story about them sometimes.
That’s literally the option I was presented. Thankfully since, it’s a State government organization, I have “time”. But the more I reflect, and the more feedback I get here here, I may go this route.
Excel worksheet, with columns for all of that. Because I, like my users, want to do everything the stupidest way fucking possible, and ensure that something gets horribly fucked up along the way.
