Project value
Make a complex family understandable from the first view.
What the design needed to achieve
- ✓
Show the complete fitted family map at entry.
- ✓
Support natural English and Persian family searches.
- ✓
Remove private profiles before data reaches the browser.
Profiles carry private facts.
Hiding a card in the interface cannot protect data that the browser already received.
Fit first, then explore.
Open with the whole family and let search guide relatives to trusted links.
Design decisions
Balance broad context with careful access.
01Open on the complete tree
Context first
Phones, tablets, and desktop begin with the fitted whole-family view. Branch links still support focused exploration.
Intended impact
Help relatives understand the full structure before they zoom into one branch.
02Keep each family identity visible
Clear orientation
The Meshgi and Ashtari addresses share one system. Each address keeps its family label visible on small and large screens.
Intended impact
Confirm which family surface a relative opened before they explore or share it.
03Protect profiles on the server
Real privacy
The public data response removes private profiles, related aliases, and copied identity text before the browser receives the tree.
Intended impact
Make privacy part of the data boundary instead of a visual switch.
04Accept natural family questions
Flexible search
Search supports name order, English and Persian family terms, and reviewed parent, spouse, sibling, child, and ancestor links.
Intended impact
Let relatives ask in familiar words without changing recorded family facts.
Product proof
Verified behavior carries the privacy and orientation work.
115 public profiles
Production checks verify one complete public projection without technical or private records.
One shared tree
Meshgi and Ashtari addresses present the same trusted data with the correct family label.
Reviewed links
Family questions use structured relationships and stay empty when required facts are not verified.
Result
A living family map works across two family identities.
Responsive web product
The complete tree opens on phone, tablet, and desktop for both family addresses.
Private data stays out
Public health and tree responses match the server-side public profile set.
Family usefulness
Track successful searches, correction requests, shared branches, and empty queries. Public usage results are not available.
