Shared notes board — family & group updates on one Living Lyst

Notes only. No checkboxes. Everyone posts through one link — attributed and safe.

ReferLyst Shared notes is the purest Living Lyst: a simple board where anyone with the link posts a note after entering their name. Perfect for family reunion updates, meeting notes, brainstorms, and group threads — lighter than Google Docs, clearer than a group chat.

The problem

Sound familiar? These are the pain points people search for before they find a better way.

  • Family updates scattered across three group chats and a Notes app
  • Meeting notes in Google Docs nobody opens on their phone
  • No one knows who posted the latest update or when
  • New relatives can't find the thread from last year's reunion

What you get

Notes-only board

No tabs, no checkboxes — just timestamped notes with names.

Reuse the reunion board — the URL never changes.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a Living Lyst?
Yes. Shared notes is the flagship Living Lyst template — attributed contributions, forward-the-chain sharing, and built-in safety.
Do relatives need accounts?
No. They open the link, enter their name once, and post.
Can I use it for meeting notes?
Absolutely — same template works for standups, brainstorms, and async team threads.
What about inappropriate posts?
Contributors attest once. Anyone can report from the ⋯ menu. Owners get email and in-app alerts; repeated flags auto-hide content.
