In the next few weeks I want to start the process of turning Plume into an app, rather than relying on the website, however in the meantime, I'm working on my other app.

Inspired, following the death of my grandfather a few months ago, I decided I wanted a record of all our stories.

I looked at sites like Ancestry, etc, with their monthly fees and ruggable structure and realised it could be done better.

So, I started building Chronicle.

Chronicle works using #nostr architecture, so you create an account and get an npub. You start adding family members and it creates a family tree.

What I've just done is enabled two or more instances to talk to each other and share data. I'm currently getting it so that you can validate claims as they arrive.

Still on the roadmap is media handling, so you can upload and share birth/marriage/death certificates etc as well as images, videos, stories, and forum/chat features.

Eventually we'll also enable external shared family relays, and a method for public relay use for discovery.

The idea is that a family can maintain a copy of its stories across time.

Imagine a world, 150 years from now, where our great great great great great grandkids can see who we were, what kind of people we were.

Relying on no central servers, private and secure.

It doesn't publish any kind 0 data, or kind 1 notes, but obviously anyone who creates an account on Chronicle will be able to use that same keypair to log in to any nostr based app or site.

It should be kept in mind that I'm doing this all with Claude, I'm too retarded to do it freehand. It's also the first time I've ever used Github, so my version numbering is retarded as well. But I don't really care, because I'm building this for me and my family.

If anyone else benefits or appreciates, thats lovely, but not essential.
