We built Sortabase to let communities collaborate on visual databases of the things they know and care about. The fields of each database are defined by its moderators using a no-code drag-n-drop interface, and the resulting database is easy to search, filter, sort, and contribute to. The platform is 100% free to use - take a look, and feedback is appreciated!
