Framily tree

What is this?

This is an interactive family tree for my fraternity. This shows family lineage while also allowing users to interact to better navigate and understand the history:

• Change color coding to organize the tree by family, pledge class, or members' active status
• Use the search function to quickly find particular fraternity members in the tree
• Play around with graph nodes (they bounce around and collide with each other using a physics engine!)

This family tree is entirely data-driven and easy to update. Data is pulled from a google spreadsheet.

How does it work?
