    Astral Atlas — the 3D family tree

    A whole new way to see your tree. The Atlas plots every ancestor as a star in 3D space, with curved bloodline edges, ancestry highlights on click, and Tower / Sphere viewing modes.

    • Sunburst layout — patrilineal order, each subtree owns its angular wedge so lines mathematically cannot cross
    • Tower mode (stacked rings) + Sphere mode (globe with latitude generations)
    • Patriarchs scale by descendant count — anchors of the lineage become visibly large stars
    • Click a person to light up the path back to the root
    • Atlas controls panel — switch layout, sizing rule, label density, and visibility toggles

    Editorial tree chrome + wired Configure panel

    Unified the tree-view chrome around Bone/Ember design tokens, gave each chart view a smarter default frame, and wired up the Configure panel's previously-dead controls.

    • Sort children by Oldest / Youngest / As entered — now actually changes the layout
    • Generation depth caps for ancestors and descendants
    • Mini-tree indicator pill on cards whose subtree is hidden by the depth cap
    • Generation + sibling spacing sliders unlocked up to 600px for large dynasties

    Feature

    Persistent sessions + Google OAuth

    Facebook-style session persistence — sign in once, stay signed in across devices. Magic-link email and Google OAuth share the same auth path.

    • Canonical Supabase cookies via proxy middleware
    • AuthListener keeps the dashboard in sync with auth state
    • Magic link + Google OAuth both land on the same redirect handler

    Astral Atlas — landing, pricing, account

    Rebuilt the marketing surfaces around the Astral Atlas identity. Editorial italic display type, tangerine + lavender accents on midnight, and a holographic-glass 3D hero on the homepage.

    • New TopBar with hover-dropdowns under Product, Explore, Pricing, Resources
    • Auth-aware Pricing — greets signed-in users, badges your current plan
    • Account page redesign matching the same editorial system
    • Dark / light theme toggle wired into every chrome surface

    Feature

    Lineage view — paternal, maternal, both

    The default tree view is now the gender-neutral Lineage chart. A Paternal / Both / Maternal pill lets you choose which side of the family the chart follows.

    • Generalised the layout engine away from male-only filtering
    • Female children are no longer dropped from the descent
    • Patriarch root selection preserved for the default landing view
  • v2.3

    Feature

    GEDCOM Doctor + record matching

    Drag a GEDCOM file in, get a clean tree out. Record matching now suggests historical records that fit each person and attaches them with one click.

    • GEDCOM round-trip with lossless re-export
    • Record match suggestions surfaced on each person
    • Attach / dismiss flows + a hints panel for unresolved matches
  • v2.2

    Six chart views + Time Machine

    Same data, six different lenses. Lineage, Fan, Pedigree, Life Bar, Circular, and Migration Map — each lazy-loaded so the page stays fast.

    • Viewport-cull large lineage trees so 500-person dynasties stay smooth
    • Time Machine scrub bar — drag a year, watch the family appear
    • Mobile control overlap fixed on the chart switcher
