Family Graph Tool

I’ve developed a tool which allows the user to display their family tree.

The special thing about this tool: it can have multiple family roots. This means that you could display your whole family tree together with the family tree of your spouse.

This makes this a family “graph” rather than a family “tree”, because it has multiple “roots”.

You can check out the tool here.

bye bye social media

  1. They consume too much time
  2. They provide little or no value for my live
  3. I can communicate with the people I care about through other software. Why do we have these messenger apps if we don’t use them?
  4. Also I watched this video
  5. I now get my tech news through various newsletters (and boy… there are a lot of them)

Optimizing my blog

Recently, I optimized my blog for page speed and file size. I did this, because I came across the Mobile Website Speed Testing Tool and my blog did not have 100 points in every category.
