Top alternatives to Listaway
In its own words
The project's README opens: "This self-hostable application allows authenticated users (individuals or a team) to publish one or more lists of items publicly. These lists can either be for tracking purposes (e.g. a list of books to read, a list of components in a custom computer build, a list of favorite local places, etc.) or for wishlist purposes (e.g. a gift wishlist, a list of tasks you need help with, etc.)."
