Hi Product Hunt community! 👋 I’m Juan, co-founder of Dear Ancestors. I’m passionate about genealogy and discovering the stories of those who came before me. It’s the reason I crossed oceans to live where I do today. But for years, I fought with the tools available, trying to keep sensitive information private and organised. They forced me into a trade-off: use modern apps that felt shallow, or use powerful desktop software that felt like a relic from the 90s. Static lists of names just didn’t capture the complex reality of my family—and most families. So, my wife Claire and I built the tool we needed: Dear Ancestors. We replaced static lists with a Dynamic Family Web. The core magic? You can click on any relative—even a distant cousin—and instantly shift the entire tree’s perspective to view history through their eyes. What you get: 🌍 Dynamic Anchoring: Shift perspective instantly. 🔗 Rich Context: Tag witnesses & godparents to capture real social bonds. 📄 Digital Archive: Attach PDFs & photos directly to profiles. I’d love to hear what you think and get your honest feedback! Happy to answer any questions. Juan
