Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I’m thrilled to introduce Tarombo Batak, a digital platform dedicated to preserving the rich genealogy and lineage (Tarombo) of the Batak people of Indonesia. The Problem: In Batak culture, understanding your lineage is essential for everyday social interactions and traditional ceremonies (guided by the Dalihan Na Tolu kinship system). However, these massive family trees are often documented in fragile, physical books or passed down purely through oral tradition. When young people move to different cities or countries, connecting with their roots becomes incredibly difficult. The Solution: We built a modern, responsive, and collaborative web platform where the community can map out their family trees together, Wikipedia-style. ✨ Key Features: 🌳 Interactive Family Trees: Seamless, drag-and-drop tree visualization built with XYFlow, featuring specific color-coding for the Dalihan Na Tolu kinship structures. 🤝 Collaborative (Wiki-Style): Claim your profile, add relatives, suggest edits, and grow the family tree together with a built-in moderation system. 📖 Marga (Clan) Directories: Explore detailed statistics and member lists across all sub-ethnicities (Toba, Karo, Simalungun, Pakpak, Mandailing and Angkola). 📥 Export to PDF/PNG: Easily download your family tree chart for your next family reunion. 📱 PWA Ready: Install and use it on the go, beautifully optimized for mobile devices. I would love to hear your feedback, thoughts, or questions on how we can improve the platform. Thank you for checking us out! 🙏

How do you currently keep track of your family history? 🌳

Hi everyone! As we count down to the launch of Tarombo Batak tomorrow, I m curious to know: how does your family currently preserve your genealogy or family tree? Do you use physical books, oral traditions, or digital tools?

We built Tarombo Batak to solve this exact problem for the Batak community in Indonesia, making it collaborative like Wikipedia. Looking forward to hearing your stories! Click "Notify me" to see what we've built.
