The brief
live · rev DA family recipe archive where the credit goes to the person the recipe came from. The scan of the handwritten card is treated as the artefact; the typed version exists so it can be searched, not so it can replace it.
Families keep a vault. Nothing is public unless somebody chooses to put it on the shelf, and everything on the shelf has been read by a human first.
Attached to it is the shopping list, which is the part that gets used daily. It works with no signal, because the place you need a shopping list is reliably the one place with no bars. Two phones can both write to it mid-shop without either erasing the other, every change carries its own clock so ordering survives a phone whose clock is wrong, and a list is finished rather than deleted — the sheet comes off the clip and gets kept.

The log
3 updatesA vault is handed to the kitchen rather than to one person at a time. One invitation brings a whole household in.
A shop can be finished, and the finished ones are kept. Last Christmas's list is the best possible start for this one.
