Gargalo
A social network built around family trees. My own startup, where I was founder and team lead.
( Company closed in 2025 )( The result )
2 years
as founder and team lead
1
custom algorithm to render the trees
Atomic
design system for a UI that scales
( 01 )The problem
A family tree is a social graph, and nobody had turned it into a product people open every day. I founded Gargalo to try. I also wanted to learn what it takes to lead a team while writing the hardest code myself.
( 02 )What I did
Product & team
- I founded the company, defined the product and led the team.
Build
- An asynchronous chat with media handling.
- A custom algorithm that lays out and renders large family trees efficiently.
- An atomic design system so the UI could scale, in Flutter with Riverpod.
( 03 )Screens
( 04 )The hard parts
- Rendering large family trees smoothly on a phone.
- Leading a team and shipping code at the same time.
( 05 )The outcome
We shipped the product, and I came out with two years of founder experience that I now bring to every client project, from budget and roadmap to hiring and launch. The company is closed today.
( 06 )Stack
- Flutter
- Riverpod
- REST API
