Hey Product Hunt community! 👋
I'm excited to share this Family Tree App, a project born from my own desire to have a simple, private, and beautiful way to map out my family history.
I found that most genealogy tools were either too complex, locked behind a subscription, or didn't give me full control over my family's sensitive data. So, I decided to build my own and make it open source for everyone to use and contribute to!
With this app, you can:
- 🌳 Visualize Your Lineage: Instantly switch between vertical and horizontal tree layouts.
- ✏️ Fully Dynamic: Add, edit, and delete family members with a simple, modern interface.
- 🖼️ Personalize with Photos: Give a face to every name by uploading photos.
- 🌍 Multilingual: Ready for your international family with support for English, Portuguese, and German.
- 🔒 Own Your Data: It's self-hostable, meaning your family's history stays completely private and under your control.
- ❤️ Free & Open Source: The entire project is on GitHub under the MIT license.
This has been a passion project, and I'm thrilled to share it with you all. I'd love to hear your feedback and any ideas for features you'd like to see next!
