Hey HN, after the app I actually used to track my period wanted me to log in and save my data in the cloud, I decided to write my own. Most apps in this area are based on a subscription model and display far too much information anyway. For me, a simple calendar is enough where I can add a few notes if necessary. So that is the result of my work - a simple design and the data is only saved on the smartphone.

I built this as a side project because I found existing family tree tools either too bloated or too manual—I spent more time dragging boxes and aligning lines than actually mapping my family history. My goal was to make it instant: you just add the names, and the auto-layout engine handles the hierarchy and spacing automatically. It runs entirely in the browser and exports high-res PNG/JPGs. Would love feedback on the layout logic (especially for complex families) and the overall UI flow. Happy to answer any questions!

Every time I talk to my older family members, especially my grandparents, I find out a new super interesting fact about them. Last week: my Croatian grandfather served in the French marine corps... Not worth mentioning I guess. I realized that these stories are passed down only by re-telling them. Just think about how much you don't know about your family from 2 generations ago. For this reason, I created ancestree.marindedic.com It's a really cool family tree creation app, where each person gets their own book. Inside it, write what they did, what happened to them, what they were like...…
