Projects using Node.js in Sugar LandProjects using Node.js in Sugar LandLegacies is a genealogy platform designed to help people explore, organize, and connect their family histories.
The project focuses on making African family history easier to document and navigate. Users can begin with information such as a family name, compound, village, Local Government Area, or state and use that information to build a structured family history.
The platform is designed around family trees and shared ancestry, with the goal of helping people discover connections between relatives and preserve information that might otherwise be lost across generations.
I built the application as a full-stack project, working across the frontend and backend. The backend uses Node.js and Express, with PostgreSQL for storing and organizing family data.
Key areas of the project include:
Family and ancestry data organization
Family tree exploration
Location-based family information
Shared-ancestor and family connections
Backend APIs and data management
PostgreSQL database integration
Full-stack web application development
Technologies: Node.js, Express.js, PostgreSQL, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, REST APIs
