What If...
A small foray
Setting the Stage
- We're talking about genealogy
- This is directed at developers
- This is very high level
My data is online...
but I can run offline?
What If:
Work Offline
Sync between devices
Speed/Responsiveness
I can collaborate...
but still disagree?
What If
Collaborate on the 99.9%
My work is private...
but I can still share it?
What If
Sensitive Information remains private
I can still collaborate
I can store standard data...
as well as custom?
What If
Lets me experiment
I can crawl the entire tree...
and have it return in a second?
What If
Algorithms can guide users
Realtime guidance
We can discuss a change...
before it is made?
What If
No more misunderstandings
Others can contribute...
but I choose what to accept?
What If
More willing to share
No fear of clobbering
I can run my own backend...
and it's open source?
What If
Access the data directly
Not reliant on 3rd party for performance
Need to examine data? go ahead.
I can run several backends...
all in different languages?
What If
Run a full server in the browser
Run on a phone/tablet
Inviting someone to collaborate...
was as easy as sending an email?
What If
Increased activity and eyeballs
You could do genealogy...
via text messaging?
What If
97/100 citizens have a mobile phone
So what are your What Ifs?
What If...
So...
Why Not?
