Development

  • npm run dev — starts the dev server (automatically prefers the rich tree.json at the project root)
  • npm run build — runs prepare-data then builds. The smart script will either copy your local rich tree or download the latest from the repo so the deployed site always has excellent demo data.
  • Large personal tree.json / rulers.json files are intentionally kept out of public/ (see .gitignore). The live site offers a one-click "Load full rich demo data" experience powered by the root-level files in this repo.

The public demo at https://fornevercollective.github.io/ancestory/ is designed to feel premium and immediately useful — far better onboarding than most genealogy tools.
