In Development: Genealogist

Posted by BrianH on June 11th, 2010 at 2:20 pm

Simply awesome!  I’ve started laying out the foundation for my first Mac OS X application, Genealogist.  I have the core user interface layout complete (at least for beta testing), and I have the database working flawlessly.  So far, it’s a very basic Address Book type application with much aspiration to grow into a solid, feature filled Genealogy program.  Here’s some VERY early screenshots of the development:

The database is powered by CoreData, and I even have Product Registration implemented using AquaticPrime as well (I know, it’s a little early for that, but oh well).  There is still a ton of work to do until it is functionally a genealogy application, but it’s coming along very nicely.  Considering this is my “spare time” killer and I’m nowhere near the skill level of a professional programmer, I’d say it’s pretty awesome to see it working as it is now.

Future Additions:

  • Full GEDCOM support, both Import and Export.
  • Sparkle Updater integration.  Update: I now have Sparkle integrated and working great!
  • Compatible with Mac OS X, both PowerPC and Intel architectures (32 and 64 bit).

I’ll be making a website and support section for the application in the future, but for now if you have any suggestions, you can comment below and/or send me an email to bchynds@mac.com.
