I came across a little about text_input fields which makes me think it would be possible to tinker something together, all I would like is a simple card that stores some 10 messages shared between my users without SMS and only in HA.

If anyone else is interested I'd be happy to share a blueprint or whatever it ends up as

just had a look in HACS, but nothing there.

What you could try is adding items to a todo list, with an automation to drop the last entry when a new item is added.

Thats actually a brilliant idea, a little Macgyver, but certainly what I'm needing, thank you!

Not that its necessary but I would assume I would need per user automations and templates to be able to append a name and add that to a main message todo, a little over what I have time for
