  • Yeah I’m trying to avoid MS if possible, especially since I probably have to try to make the jump to linux eventually with how things are going. I probably need to at least try Visio though, to see is it able to do what I want, so far I’ve had no luck with alternatives for it.

    For example draw.io doesn’t seem to work for this (I’ve tried before as well), since I really need easy auto arranging for the nodes for it to be usable enough - and I haven’t been able to do that with it. So far the only thing that I’ve found to work even relatively well for what I want to do has been this even with it’s many limitations, since it allows to just pulling the lines wherever and it will auto arrange everything. When the trees grow to crazy sizes (over a hundred etc.), it’s almost impossible to make things work without the auto arranging, otherwise I wouldn’t even need the tools I’m looking for…



  • I wish there’d be a proper family tree generator, I’ve been searching for one for so long. All the things existing now seem to be old and made to create actual existing family trees with lots of limitations, but I’d really need a tool to use for world building and that kind of stuff. To allow you create profiles with a lot of data for the characters in the tree, so you could view the info in some easy way, maybe by clicking to open an info window, or something like that. To be able to easily link them to each other with other things than just family relations (like friends, lovers, enemies…). Being able to properly put a picture on the profiles so it would show there in the tree, not just a name. Just being able to properly view the whole family tree at once by zooming in and out would be so nice, and to link it with other family trees etc…

    There are games that have some family tree functions, but I don’t need nor want a gaming experience. I want to do these things freely, not with having to play some shit to be able to unlock something, or to have family trees generated around just played characters. I’ve tried using mind map generating stuff as well, but they have limited features, and it’s difficult to just create branches with them since everything is supposed to link back to one single thing.

    If anyone knows about something like this existing somewhere, please do tell me!








  • Going through the endless footage of it on youtube is one the things I always return to. The destruction is unimaginable. The horror is gut-wrenching. Seeing everything just getting washed away is both absolutely terrifying and utterly humbling in a way I’ve never found anything else to be. The best part though, is seeing people survive; encourage and rescue each other.

    It is a horrible event that shows both the cruelest parts of nature and the best of humanity. I am so thankful of all the brave people that have posted the footage. It is something that should never be forgotten
