## What it is
Gramps Web is a free, open-source web application for browsing and collaboratively editing genealogical databases, designed as a companion to the Gramps desktop app. It offers interactive family tree charts, maps, search, DNA tools, and an AI chat assistant, with self-hosting via Docker and full data ownership.

## Use cases
- build a family tree online with family members
- browse and edit my genealogy database from any device
- self-host a genealogy web app with Docker
- share family tree privately with authenticated users
- view ancestor and descendant charts in the browser
- sync genealogy data between desktop and web
- import and export GEDCOM or Gramps XML files
- map where my ancestors lived on an interactive map

## When to choose
- you want a self-hosted, privacy-focused genealogy web app
- you already use Gramps Desktop and want web access with bi-directional sync
- you need collaborative multi-user editing with role-based access control
- you want interactive tree charts, maps, and search for family history

## When to avoid
- you need a simple shared-hosting deployment (it requires Docker or a VPS)
- you only need offline single-user genealogy software (use Gramps Desktop instead)
- you want a hosted turnkey service without any server management and prefer not to pay a provider
