Gramps Web CLI tool (Go)
A command line tool written in Go for interfacing with a self-hosted Gramps Web genealogy service, letting the user manage and own their own genealogy data instead of relying on commercial genealogy sites. It fills a gap for CLI-based interaction with Gramps; it was AI-assisted in early development and is being cleaned up before a public release.
What it addresses
Commercial genealogy sources don't give users ownership of their data, and there is no existing tool for interacting with Gramps via the command line.

Audience: Wants to own their genealogy data rather than depend on commercial services like Ancestry; notes a missing space for CLI interaction with Gramps.

“Trying to finish up a command line tool in go to interface with my Gramps Web service. Got really into genealogy and while ancestry, the Mormons, etc. Are helpful sources, I want to own my own data.”
