On November 8, 2026, I completed Story Scout v0.2.1, a genealogy application developed in C++ using Qt 6 on my Manjaro Linux computer. Story Scout helps me organize family history by displaying names, birth and death information, parents, stepparents, spouses, children, and genealogical descriptions. The application supports TG identifiers, website references, searching family records, and saving information to a local SQLite database. It also includes a screenshot feature that works with my infoartrecorder review system. Developing Story Scout gave me an opportunity to combine my interests in programming, genealogy, and preserving family history.
After successfully compiling and testing the application, I used J03Curator to review and prepare its development materials for publication. I also completed a separate privacy review of the application’s screenshot before approving it for GitHub. On November 8, 2026, I published the Story Scout v0.2.1 source code and one approved screenshot to my GitHub repository, under commit c14b439. My private genealogy database and associated personal records were not included in the publication. Although I decided not to submit Story Scout to the Snap Store or Flathub, its development materials are available for anyone interested in reviewing the project. You can explore the Story Scout source code and view the application screenshot on GitHub.
