Family tree

[eltos]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The contacts App has a field "Related contacts" which allows specifying relationships like Mother, Child, Brother etc. Currently, this information is not used.

Describe the solution you'd like

I propose a family tree feature which uses the "Related contacts" field to display a graphical Family Tree. It can be very similar to the organization charts feature recently introduced.

This idea was originally mentioned in https://github.com/nextcloud/contacts/issues/2730#issuecomment-1285181382

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context

To simplify specifying the "Related contacts", having https://github.com/nextcloud/contacts/issues/1046 would be very helpful. However, plaintext entries should still be possible for relatives not in the contact list. Also, having an option to select "Me" or "[username]" as related contact would be helpful, since people typically don't have themselves stored as contact, but most contacts will have some relation to the user itself.

I know you are asking for something different, but are you aware of https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/familytree maybe that helps in the meantime
