Nested Tags for contacts. Ability to add sub tags like Friends/BowlingGroup or Acquaintance/LocalChurchContact
I seriously don’t understand what’s difficult to tag contacts like this and ability to use them to message a group. It’s a serious no-brainer feature but not to be found anywhere.
As a software engineer I'm interested in the value that would add over simply having combinations of the tags as is possible now
These kind of tags are supported in all kinds of note taking apps. I don’t think it would be an Hercularian task to achieve it.
Don't underestimate the legacy code. There's a reason we avoid it.
Contact attached to a knowledge graph seems useful to me :)
Can you give more context or an example. Is it like sort of Obsidian graph but the nodes are all contacts or something?
As an example: https://linkedpeople.net/person/Q358587
But admittedly, I've just watched two videos on using Knowledge graphs with WikiData and Obsidian to make a personalized attempt at exobrains with AI, so I am biased to think it's a good idea in general right now. I really like the idea of not just sorting by tag, but being able to get complex relations out of my personal data, so I can stop having to remember things like "ok so who all is a dev working on this project that would know something about the backend to the search function" and instead use data both available and inputed to get a list of contacts to review. It just gets to be a mess when teams get too large or too many interworking teams! You could extrapolate it to other interpersonal planning and coordination things too like "who would like to play a dungeon crawl for the next few weekends?", grabbing both calander data where we can, maybe personal notes about whether they can make it to things regularly or be upcoming things for them, and whether they like those kinds of games. Not everything would be known of course, still gotta actually ask people, make a plan, etc, but make it easier you know?
