Why traditional group chats fail

Messaging apps compress media, bury context, and make it nearly impossible to search by person. They also rely on phone backups that disappear when someone upgrades.

Option	Pros	Cons
Shared drives	Easy to set up	No permissions inheritance, clunky mobile UX
Email threads	Everyone already has email	Attachments capped, impossible to organize
Kunbaa workspace	Private media storage, Memory Lane timeline, family context	Requires inviting family (worth it)

Setting up your workspace

Start with a small core family group, then invite extended relatives when the archive has useful context. Keep uploads inside the private workspace instead of public links.

Build your own family tree, not just read someone else's

Start a private family space where your relatives can preserve names, photos, stories, and relationship context together.
