Interactive web apps
GrampsWeb
Gramps Web is a web app developed by the Gramps community that allows authorized users to collaboratively edit a network Gramps family tree database using the same code base as Gramps Desktop.
See the Gramps Web wiki page (for an overview) or its project website (for detailed user documentation).
Configuring a Gramps Web instance on your own server or hosted service is an EXPERT level task. But there are deployment options using a Docker container and a turnkey "1-click App" offered as a service if you have a (paid) Digital Oceans droplet account.
Gramps Web Sync
Gramps Web Sync addon synchronizes the Gramps Web online database with Gramps Desktop from the Tools -> Family Tree Processing submenu. It supports import and export of genealogical data in all formats supported by Gramps.
See the Gramps Web Sync project on GitHub to give feedback.
