## Wary of trying to be too general
Although I like the idea of this for making sure indications of interest don't last indefinitely on Codidact Proposals, trying to find a general use for expiring reactions on existing Codidact communities might end up stretching one tool across too many use cases. Perhaps we would be better with several different solutions for different problems.

## Alternative solutions for proposals
This has made me think about how else we could measure interest in a proposal without needing to modify the reactions system.

### Measuring activity rather than intentions
Even with expiring reactions, a user who claims they will be a user of the proposed community may turn out to not be interested enough to interact often. Keeping a reaction on a proposal up to date by regularly visiting is much less effort than making meaningful interactions like voting, posting, and editing. Perhaps we should focus more on measuring directly how much activity a proposal is seeing.

Now that proposals are in a community of their own, with questions and answers and their own Meta category, we get a much better impression of the activity a finished community would see, because much of that activity can already happen in the proposal. Could we add statistics to proposals that show how much of each activity type is happening? This would show what people are already doing for that proposal, rather than what they claim they will do in the future.

### Charts in the Descriptions post
This could be hosted in the Descriptions post for a proposal, as a collection of charts showing different types of activity. Possible charts could be:
- Number of views (of questions attached to the proposal, the proposal's tag, and the proposal's Descriptions post).
- Number of questions.
- Number of answers.
- Number of unanswered questions.
- Number of votes cast.

Each of these could be shown against time, so we can easily see if a proposal has steady activity or just a spike in the first month and then less (or a steady increase over time).
