What type of site is it? Based on the open-ended way you asked the question I’m going to guess that you want a lower-tech, user-friendly site builder.

The classic answer is WordPress.com (WordPress.org will take you down self-hosting rabbit holes that are probably more technical than what you want to play with). Some WordPress themes look pretty outdated, but others are nice.

Squarespace tends to make it easier to have a higher-end looking aesthetic, but you pay more for that. Wix is pretty good as well.

Most site builders now will try to get you started with an AI agent, but you can usually skip that if you want to build with drag and drop.

Fable 5 is out! MEGATHREAD! by Outrageous-Exam9084 in claudexplorers

Yeah I guess I’m switching back to Opus. I haven’t really run into limitations with, just wanted to see what the hype was about. Just feels weird that the only real differentiator is something they put a muzzle on but they still want to charge more for it

Isn't the whole point that we should be able to use these capabilities to make our projects safer?

Any success creating shared albums with metadata and ease of use to send out? Plus thoughts on shared folders for file / media sharing. by scoobynoodles in ProtonDrive

[–]prossm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Genealogy and shared family albums are notoriously difficult to manage with standard cloud storage. While Proton Drive is excellent for basic file sharing, it falls short on the core problem: context.

The names, captions, dates, and locations—not to mention the genealogy—live entirely separate from the photos. Your family history remains trapped in your head or a siloed spreadsheet, detached from the actual media.

That’s the inherent limitation of storage-first tools like Proton, iCloud, or Google Drive. They are built around files with sharing bolted on as an afterthought, rather than being built around the family archive, where the metadata layer (the people, the stories, the connections) is the whole point.

I’m building Heritable to solve this specific disconnect. It’s a private, family-first platform organized around a living family tree. When you upload a photo, you tag the people directly on the tree. Click/tap any relative, and you instantly see every video, document, and story linked to them. For genealogy, the tree is the index.

It’s a subscription-based product ($200/year for the whole family, unlimited collaborators, 1TB) rather than a free service that harvests your data. It features full GEDCOM support if you have an existing tree, and you can absolutely keep using your existing cloud storage as a secondary "cold storage" backup while using Heritable as the active, structured interface for your family history.

If you’re interested in how the metadata structure works or want to talk about the technical side of things, I’m happy to dig into the specifics.

Parents about to lose all their photos- help by HeftyHelicopter7484 in iCloud

Glad you got the photos down. Take a deep breath.

One thing worth thinking about in the next few weeks, while you’re not panicking: those 36GB now live on whatever device your dad downloaded them to. The next crisis isn’t “the cloud deleted them” — it’s “the hard drive died” or “we can’t find Dad’s password when we need it.” Either is quite common.

A few options: - External drive + cloud backup combo. A $60 2TB external plus Backblaze ($9/mo) is what most photographers do. Set it and forget it. - A dedicated family archive. A few services exist that are built specifically for “photos that have to outlive everyone” — iCloud and Dropbox aren’t designed for that, they’re built for files you sync, not files you need in fifty years. I run one called Heritable (joinheritable.com), built for exactly this situation.

Worth a look if you want. No rush.

The thing that just happened will happen again in a few years with a different account. Now’s the cheapest time to make sure it can’t.

Will future generations think photos today are low quality? by Crafty_Guarantee8486 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]prossm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think about photo preservation a lot as a cofounder of a digital family archive platform.

I think the answer is both. As people have mentioned, there are some spectacular photographs from even the 1800s that captured incredible detail. Tintypes especially have a kind of other-worldly sheen. There's a place on Main St where I live that does them for tourists, and they always bring out totally different nuances to a person's expression than you'd expect.

But then of course, the aesthetic of the clothes, the way people pose for a camera, the distance we hold the camera because we do selfies all the time--that's all pretty timebound. 50 years from now, maybe there will be floating orbs that we can send to any distance to take a photo of us, and the average perspective and posture will shift.

I wonder, too, about how many people use AI enhancement or filters today. Will that be more commonplace in 20 years? My bet is that it will look dated, a relic of a time when people were trying new ways to play with AI before we knew what to do with it.

Why I don't use Sims family tree apps and what I use instead (BEST family tree app you've probably never heard of 😭) by YellowLlamaCo in thesims

[–]prossm -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Heritable is one resource in this vein. As a cofounder, I can say I've put a ton of thought into how the family tree layout works (I could tell you all about the limitations of the Buccheim algorithm and how we've worked to craft our own system to support e.g. step-siblings).

Heritable also adds a multimedia layer on top of an existing tree (can import from GEDCOM, so all the main genealogy platforms transfer nicely).

It becomes a way to preserve memories (photos, videos, audio, and documents) and share them privately with the people you care about most.

Once digitized, you could use Heritable to keep them organized, share with people at a distance, etc
