Interactive web apps
Gramps Web is a web app developed by the Gramps community that allows to collaboratively edit a Gramps family tree database using the same code base as Gramps Desktop.
Configuring a Gramps Web instance on your own server or hosted service is an EXPERT level task. But there 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 addon snychronizes 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 project on GitHub.
