Researched how FamilySearch/Geni/MyHeritage lay out trees (switchable pedigree/portrait/fan, an interactive canvas with pan/zoom + click-to-recenter, gender colors, birth-death years) and built a real Tree page on the MIT d3 library family-chart instead of a flat list. Ancestors + descendants around a focus person, click any card to recenter, drag to pan, scroll to zoom — scales to large imported trees. Tree is now the first per-tree sidebar item and the default when opening a tree; People keeps the searchable directory + add/edit.

Next.js (App Router) + React 19 + TypeScript + Tailwind v4, with shadcn-style UI primitives (Button, Input, Card, Label via cva/tailwind-merge). A typed API client is generated from the backend OpenAPI spec with openapi-typescript + openapi-fetch (npm run gen:api); the committed openapi.json/schema.d.ts are the snapshot.
Views: landing, login, register, tree list + create, and tree detail with person list + create. Auth rides the same-origin HttpOnly session cookie the backend sets (Caddy proxies /api/*), so no token handling in JS. Built as a standalone container. Mobile-first; next build is clean.
