# PDB Use Case

 * Hi and thanks for all the work you’ve put into PDB. Here is a use case I am exploring.
   Trying to relate it to PDB and understand if I can use PDB (and/or other apps
   along with it).
 * 1) Users visit my site and “sign-up” (creating their own username & PW)
    2) Users
   have a site “user profile” page. 3) User profile page allows User to create a
   new List(s) with as many items on each list as they want. 4) The User created
   lists can then be shared/viewed publicly on the website.
 * For example:
    A “kitchen gear” website, with lists of kitchen gear that various
   people own/use for various cooking tasks. Signed-up users can create new “cooking
   equipment list(s)” with list name determined by the user e.g. “my souffle cooking
   equipment list” “my grilling equipment list” etc. Each list is variable length(
   5, 10, 20, XX items) as determined by user. Pre-determined sub-groupings assist
   the user in organizing their list. e.g. When creating a new “Souffle cooking 
   equipment list” items can be added to various sub-categories such as “Pots and
   Pans” sub-category, “Cutlery” category, “XYZ” sub-category.
 * I welcome any thoughts as to whether PDB is suitable for this type of use case.

 * Participants Database in it’s present form can only do this kind of thing if 
   you’ve got some coding skills and can create the needed custom templates and 
   support code. I have an article that goes into some of the details:
