Lots of great suggestions, thanks! I know my family members visiting use Google, so some of those tools can be an option. I’ll look at it in more detail, but what I had envisioned was something similar to Walling or Milanote - programs that allowed me to create bookmarks or “cards” with information that people can move around or comment on. I want to offer them a variety of activities since I am not sure what they want to or what kind of food they wish to eat when visiting. I will also explore the links to the other programs mentioned. I have Zoho Notebook, but have moved on to UpNote as I prefer its clipping abilities.
Thanks again for the suggestions!

I think, to a degree, we may have a partial solution. I am trialing Craft and they have moved me to paid features for 14 days, so I cannot be sure of what I may or may not lose when it reverts. But it does allow commenting without signing up. It does not allow moving around blocks, but with commenting, I may be able to get close to what I want without a subscription. I have never played around with Craft before, and it seems like a pretty powerful program. Thanks again for the recommendation.

I hope it helps meet your needs, Ken.
Craft at first blush looks like a sort of Pinterest wanna-be, but under the surface are some interesting features.

Er, Craft can indeed move blocks around, either by dragging and dropping (hover over a block, you’ll see a “handle” on the left-hand side) or using keyboard shortcuts (Option+Command+up/down arrow). In fact, blocks and their flexibility is what Craft is all about. You can drop blocks onto days in the calendar, you can move blocks between documents – it’s extremely powerful on that score.

Yes, there are a number of programs that easily allow blocks to be moved around. What I was wanting was the ability of a guest to move blocks around using a link and not having to create an account to do that. Few programs seem to offer this, and if they do, it is with their premium price packages.
