Welcome to Family Record!
Hey folks! This is Family Record, a simple way to archive family audio and video recordings. It's self-hosted, static-file-based, and completely customizable.
Here are some of the basic features:
- Supports audio and video files
- Simple content and blog tools built in
- Send a link, play the recording, no accounts or apps
- Great for in-laws and app-averse crowds
So how does this work under the hood? I'm glad you asked!
- Static site built by Middleman
- Source on GitHub, deployed and hosted by Netlify (both free)
- Works with MP3 (audio) and MP4 (video), more formats soon
- Mobile-ready, HTML-only media players
- Flat files, keep all you original recording files
This is a quick first release, keep an eye out for future releases. If you want to pitch in, contact @clarklab.
