New
products and services are being created all the time. Many of them have relevance to our
genealogical community.
As part of
Rootstech (held last month) there was a Developers
Challenge. In short ...
The
Problem
Millions of people around the world are interested in
family history. These people need software solutions—on a desktop, online, or
through mobile delivery—that help them engage and succeed in their efforts to discover,
preserve, and share their family history.
The Challenge
Create an application or service that introduces a
compelling new concept or innovation to family history.
This year’s
winner is Saving Memories Forever. The other finalists included Find-A-Record and Photo FaceMatch.
The 2013 winner
was Treelines.
The 2012 winners were NoteFuser, LeafSeek, 20 Minutes
Genealogist, and FaceTree.
Have you played around with any or all of these
applications? If so, please share your thoughts.
Is there an application that you think “should” be a
finalist for the next Developers Challenge?
