Description: QSocialNetwork can display the relations of different people among each other. Current focus is/was on soap operas - they give the best example of complex social networks ;-) content is provided for "Lindenstrasse", of course you can create your own content. Future implementation entirely depends on your feedback. Please send me e-mails for requests and bugs.Last changelog:
I like the idea and have already tried two apps which visualize social relationships. Unfortunately either one of them isn't as flexible as I would need it to be.
ksociograma is gui-wise very intuitive, but too limited (meant for pupils). I really like the way it demonstrates the relationships from a single person's view. Unfortunately it is not actively developed anymore:

A combination of ksociograma, social network visualizer and qsocialnetwork would be cool. Why not join efforts and code?
Hi,
thanks for the comments.
I think joining efforts can be a good idea, though competition is good as well. In my case, I'm a newbie to C++ and Qt and I wouldn't be able to contribute to code I haven't written myself.
What is your use case for software like this? The software you've mentioned looks rather "scientific" compared to mine which aims at the casual user. If you give me some details on what you need I'm willing to see if I can implement it. You can email me as well qsn2000 -at- web.de.
Thanks!
Sorry for taking this long to reply. I am working as a project manager and it is always a good idea to have a stakeholder analysis at the beginning of a project. A tool which visualizes the different relationships of all stakeholders would be very helpful. (A good idea would be customizable fields and some sort of scales describing the type of relationship between two parties and/or the project.)
Besides this use case a visualization of the relationships between all project members could help the project leader seeing upcomming personal conflicts which tend to have a bad affect on the project and help him preventing those.
Otherwise a social network visualization might help social workers or psychiatrists.
