I present to you: https://eva.coop/

It's a little bit cryptobro-y, but the intentions are good.

Isn't crypto a good use case here actually? No cental database.

Stop using "crypto" as a synonym for Blockchain. Crypto means cryptography and it's used in the communication between your browser and websites.

You are 100% correct. I meant to say blockchain.

Crypto yes, cryptocoin nah

If it has anything to do with crypto the intentions are not good.

Nah it's just that it uses blockchain technology for some reason (hype I guess), but it's not coin related. (Blockchains can be used for other purposes than money).

Yup, for example it can be used to provide distributed authentication

Or leave an audit trail for a logistics business for example.

There are a gazillion use cases, most overlooked because of the coin stench.
