Show HN: A simple, auto-layout family tree generator

https://familytreeeasy.com
4•familytreeeasy•2h ago
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!

Love the simplicity. Most family tree tools are so bloated that it feels like a chore just to add a cousin. One quick question: Since it runs entirely in the browser, are the family names and data stored locally, or do you have a backend keeping track of the trees? Privacy is always a big concern for people when it's about family history.

Thanks! I’m glad the simplicity resonates with you—fighting against genealogy bloatware was exactly what I wanted to avoid.

As for privacy, everything stays in your browser. There’s no backend database tracking your family history.

The data is stored locally (via LocalStorage), so if you refresh the page or come back later, it’ll still be there—but I never see it.
