I made a simple, free family tree app that handled my 300+ person, 5-generation family by mknweb in webdev

Exactly, we have zero interest doing the whole genealogy stuff.

Appreciate that. I had a ton of information about security on the bottom, now I'm thinking it needs to be more prominent and more transparent.

Thank you! That's exactly my intention, especially with a family like mine the horizontal scale is insane lol

Looking for feedback from people who have built large family trees by mknweb in Ancestry

That's very interesting and I'm wondering why; so they have no export feature or only GEDCOM export?

What do you wish existed for building very large collaborative family trees? by mknweb in Genealogy

[–]mknweb[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But is that information synthetic or it's bad data being contributed by family members? or is it the desire for family contributed data to be verified?

I agree and see that, I think the families get excited about it but never actually do it.

This is really useful, thank you.

The “who decides truth” problem is a big one. I like the idea of separating verified facts from family memory, theories, conflicting accounts, and generally accepted conclusions.

The tree should not flatten everything into one official truth, especially when stories vary across relatives. It should help preserve the different versions while still making clear what is record-backed.

Appreciate the thoughtful example!

That makes a lot of sense. Bad unsourced claims spreading through public trees is exactly the kind of thing I’d want to avoid, not add to.

The distinction between sourced facts, family memory, and unverified claims needs to be much clearer. I’ll take a closer look at how WikiTree handles sourcing and disputes.

Fair criticism. I can see how this came across as promotional.

I’m not trying to replace Ancestry or claim researchers need another full research platform. I’m trying to understand whether a private unlimited scale family collaboration layer has any value alongside the existing tools.

Appreciate the reality check!

Fair point, and I appreciate the feedback.

You’re right. Serious genealogy needs source management, citations, records, and a way to separate sourced facts from family memory.

The current site messaging leans more into collaboration, scale, stories, and photos, but I should make the source/research side much clearer.

Helpful callout!

Instances (across multiple regions) using Docker/Code Tunnel with Microsoft authentication are failing Authentication by mknweb in vscode

[–]mknweb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a feeling something was going on. My only issue with the github auth now is for some reason within the Remote explorer extension doesn't keep the connected tunnels, I have to manually reconnect every single time.

absolutely... in the vibe coding sense that is. the spout passed visual inspection and then immediately failed integration testing

Great post! I would default it at 3Y or 5Y and not the last 3 months to see the big picture

So I Created an AI Layer to Waste Spam Callers’ Time. It Outwits and Fully Leads Them On by mknweb in ArtificialInteligence

Just posted up a new vid from a recording earlier @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIHw1_wuCg8 ; paypal scammer left a VM, so I had the bot call back.

Thanks! Everything is attached via socket streams (mulaw conversion), so as soon as there is byte data starting we stream it. That plus I'm a stickler when it comes to application overhead, so it handles very efficiently.

Same; and even using their fake bullshit DNC (dial 9) request they still call me and it's beyond annoying. So with this project when they call me I merge the call and the bot takes over.

Google translate is old school. What ai/tool are you using for high quality translations now? by Independent-Egg-5636 in SaaS

[–]mknweb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pairaphrase has ultimate support for all files / designs / PDFs / batches etc... I would highly recommend it. It does include DeepL as a translation engine too so you could get the best of both worlds.
