Do you need a module?
You might be searching for
an all-in-one solution.
You can build with Drupal
out of the box
Three step solution
1. Model the data with fields and entities (usually content

2. Configure display
3. Create lists with Views
* Entities include Content types, Taxonomy, Comments, Profiles, Blocks (with a
contributed module :)
