Complete Family Tree Viewer
While the U.S. is celebrating Memorial Day, it seems like a good time to share this genealogy tool I made. It can show the entire family tree for a person in a GEDCOM file (all of their relatives and in-laws) without any crossing lines and with lots of control over the styling. I couldn't find any other software that does this, except maybe Gramps. Hopefully people will find it useful.

Style · AI as substrate, not feature
This is a static visualization tool with zero algorithmic intelligence; there is no AI substrate here to evaluate.

Style · capital-efficient realism
This is a hobbyist utility, not a business; there is no clear path to monetization or sustainable recurring revenue to survive 18 months.

This is a clean, utility-focused tool with clear scope, but the market for genealogy visualization is niche and hard to monetize. It's well-engineered but lacks a clear growth engine.
