ZoomPast is a unique and innovative website that allows you to explore, build, and share your genealogies. With a zooming user interface and advanced layout algorithms, ZoomPast makes it easy to navigate through even the largest and most complex family trees. This platform was created by James Rosindell and Kai Zhong, based on the concept of the popular OneZoom tree of life explorer.

One of the main features of ZoomPast is the ability to visualize your entire genealogy on a single page, with an intuitive zooming interface. You can view your family tree from the perspective of any person in it, and relationships between individuals are automatically labeled. ZoomPast also offers the ability to upload and download Gedcom files, or you can build your genealogy from scratch.

You can store multiple genealogies online, including images, and merge connected genealogies. Additionally, ZoomPast includes a built-in social network and interfaces with other websites, allowing you to easily share your genealogy with others. As for sustainability, ZoomPast started as a university project and has since become a limited business.

While all end-user services are currently free, the company is considering two funding models for the future: implementing a freemium model or licensing the technology to another company. Rest assured, your data is safe as you can always download it as a Gedcom file to use with other software. ZoomPast's goal is to create something new that people can enjoy using now and in the future.

Your feedback and support are vital for the sustainability of this platform. Give ZoomPast a try and help shape its future!
