Hi Jon, I think trees in general are quite useful and, even though I am not into genealogoy, this is as much an interesting concept as a fresh design. If not too fesh ;-)
I think you're very skilled with all tw. So, here's what I think might provide further benefits: * give the tree a lot more realestate, the logo (title) does not need it * hide the sidebar initially, you don't need tha either * put the search next to your root-dropdown-select, so that it's available even if the sidebar is not * in addition to (or instead of) yoursearch, use a selectbox similar to the one you used for nicer tagging and have it look for the names of people ...that could even replace the selectbox entirely * when a root is selected the corresponding article should open, I think * instead of just nodes and connectors, also display initials for each person, if possible * consider using a hyperbolic tree * instead of the big size, I think the buttons were more functional with icons (or colours corresponding to their function... you know: father blue, mother red, child and spouse already split into red and blue, etc... * if that's possible at all, a time-scaled tree and a scale on its side * that's it for now ;-) Tobias. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
