Evernote for a small directory


Recommended Posts

Posted

I live on a street with about 10 houses.  I'm wondering if Evernote would be a good tool to use to create and maintain a directory of our residents phone numbers, email addresses, etc?  I'm thinking I might create a page with all the information and then give everyone edit permissions so they can update as needed.  

 

Does this seem like a reasonable use of Evernote, or would folks recommend a different tool?  

 

If it is a good use of Evernote, I'm wondering if templates exist.

 

Thanks!

IMO, Evernote is NOT the tool for this task.

For one thing, one resident gets upset at something, they could delete everything, or play mischief with the data.

 

Sorry, I don't have another tool to suggest of the top of my head.

But I'd think you would want:

  1. Change control, so that all changes need to be approved before published.
  2. Version control, to revert to a prior version
  3. Notifications when changes were made.

Evernote can't do any of this.
