feat: Interests, Preferences about chandler HOT 2 OPEN

Thanks for your feedback.

Right now, Chandler is missing the life events. Life events will replace the old activities feature which was limited. It'll be much more flexible here. But I agree, this doesn't necessarily represent what you mean by interests.

What is an interest then and more importantly, how would we represent it? Is it a set of short sentence that we pin at the top of someone's profile?

Here are things I might be wanting to track about a person

• Our past interactions
  • Emotions, what happened, etc
• Life events (and reminders about them ofc)
• Their preferences

And the preferences part is what I think could be fleshed out. Certain categories of preferences I can think of:

• Food
• Hobbies
  • John likes
    • Hockey
      • Montreal Canadiens
      • Pickup Games
    • Plays
      • Link to past event: Watched Hamilton. He felt x about it
• Places
  • "The beach"
  • NOT "Mountains"

It's good to know and index the things people like that they told you in passing, or that you learned from experience. I think of "Activities" as being chronological, while preferences are filled in as needed. They can work together — that is — activities can feed into preferences.

For example:

• when we went to get dinner (activity)
• he seemed disappointed by the restaurant and noted he prefers seafood (preference)
• so now I can quickly see "food preferences" and know to pick a place with seafood next time we meet, instead of digging through activities

I don't really have a concrete idea of how to represent it, I'm still thinking about it and wanted to put it out there.
