On November 15, 2026, I publicly released AncesTale-final version 0.7.9, an open-source computer application that I developed using C++ and Qt 6 with AI-assisted development. The project explores how genealogy, computer programming and interactive storytelling can work together to preserve family history. Earlier versions of the source code were published under the MIT and Apache 2.0 licenses, with the current developer preview distributed under GPLv3.
Today, I successfully compiled the application through Canonical’s Launchpad build service, published it on the Snap Store and created a downloadable Flatpak package. Both installation formats were tested on Linux, and the public GitHub downloads were verified using SHA-256 checksums. This developer preview contains fictional family records rather than private genealogical information.
