Hi all, I’d like to point out Gramps.js , a web frontend to your Gramps database. I’ve been using it already for half a year, but would like to advertise it now to have more users give it a try and hopefully more developers joining and adding new features. What is it? It’s a web app that can be use…

[image] New releases, updated docs, call for support Hi all, this weekend [24 Jun 2023], some new things were released around Gramps Web: Version 1.0 of Gramps Web API (the server-side code for Gramps Web) Version 0.21 of Gramps.js (the client-side code for Gramps Web running in the user’s br…

Oh, and I forgot to list some of the features: Fully internationalized by leveraging the existing translations in Gramps Map view and person timeline view with map Photo lightbox view with clickable person tags Responsive - also works on mobile devices Full-text search through all text objects (at…

[image] DavidMStraub: OK, here are some screenshots from the demo server that uses the Gramps example tree: The link to the demo server was undefined in the message above. (The missing URLs for the Web API & demo server have been inserted.) And the entry point is a bit confusing. The first t…

The layout is very appealing. The horizontal pedigree Chart with fine line & rounded elements looks far more elegant than what is built into the Gramps view. (Well, all but the somewhat clunky offspring spur that looks like it uses Unicode └ glyphs. Using ├ for the middle kids isn’t ideal… but at l…

Thanks for sharing this. I tried accessing the demo from my Chromebook but the language selection prompt didn’t do anything, so I couldn’t proceed. I don’t know if any of these message are relevant. I will try again later from my Mac. A preload for ‘ https://davidmstraub.github.io/Gramps.js/967daf0b…

@emyoulation yes, you are right about the issues with the demo app. The initially empty page is due to this [ https://github.com/DavidMStraub/Gramps.js/issues/15 ] and I also agree that the home person thing is not great UX. (Well, all but the somewhat clunky offspring spur that looks like it uses U…

@GeorgeWilmes there were some issues with the demo backend [ Demo server down · Issue #182 · gramps-project/gramps-webapi · GitHub ], perhaps that’s what caused it. Another problem is that the free Heroku app goes to sleep after 30 min of inactivity and then takes a while to “wake up” again, which mig…

@DavidMStraub , do you want suggestions here or in GitHub? I’ll assume here since I’ve noted responses here but not there. Was just looking at the line type leading to the parents. It is pleasant to see a hairline weight rather than the heavy weight line used in the charts view. But the Charts vie…

Thanks for the feedback! In general, I think it makes more sense to have detailed suggestions over at Github because otherwise it will get lost in a long thread, but the forum is better suited for general feedback and questions. But, good ideas!

[image] DavidMStraub: (Well, all but the somewhat clunky offspring spur that looks like it uses Unicode └ glyphs. Using ├ for the middle kids isn’t ideal… but at least would connect them a bit more.) Also true :slight_smile: How about just swapping the ├ glyph for the└ glyph in GrampsjsPed…

Whats the benefit of this over just having something running off an exported XML with media? Could this made in to a docker that is is listed on the Unraid (NAS software) app store called “Community Applications” at some point? (easier the better)
