Hello everyone,
After tons of research and data collection, I’m finally ready to do another round of data Exports and sharing, including a web site. I probably have not done a web export in about 10 years.
One of the main issues I had with “web” back in the day was the restrictive view, only showing 3 generations, and even then only one generation of photos. I was very happy that over the years Reunion added a Tree view into the app itself that addresses some of that same need internally. And Ancestry also has a nice tree view. And in fact, it’s the only way to go nowadays. More data, a bigger view, at your fingertips.
And now I have purchased Reunion 13. When I did the web export, it looks almost identical to what it did years back. And I’m not seeing any new controls or formatting options. Other than just academic navigation, this isn’t going to cut it. Screens are bigger, expectations are higher. I have a lot of people who have contributed to this project and they deserve a nice looking display.
Is there another web view that I may be missing?
As a side note, I have tried working with Ancestry, and have found the navigation, permissions, UI, incomplete imports and exports exasperating. I thought maybe I could use it to solve the web display issue, but not with these issues. Is there another 3rd party solution you can suggest for web presentation to which I could export from Reunion, assuming Reunion doesn’t have something better natively that I don’t know about?
Thanks in advance!
Dave
