In #Timebender you can simply limit the number of hours you want to work on a project, per day or per week, and it will simply take that into account when scheduling your work! I'm building timebender.io #productivity #scheduling

And with progressive disclosure you can limit the information to only the key information and focus on the timeline primarily!

Jan Willem Tulp @tulpinteractive.com · 22/09/2026

In #Timebender you can select any period, and see how much is scheduled. But Timebender does more: it also shows you if things are rearranged, your scheduled pushed to the max within it's limits, how much time you could free up! #productivity #scheduling I'm building timebender.io

Do you have recurring activities, like spending time on your administration weekly? #Timebender easily let's you create recurring time reservations, and it schedules them automatically. I'm building timebender.io #productivity #scheduling

#Timebender let's you easily import Google Calendar events, so that Timebender knows if an event belongs to a project, only affects your availability or can be ignored. An accurate schedule, always. Quick and easy! timebender.io #productivity #scheduling

What's the best time for time off? With #Timebender you can easily schedule time off, move it around and immediately see what the impact is on your schedule! Want to learn more: timebender.io #productivity #scheduling

I kept losing track of my own capacity across projects — every tool either organized my tasks or my time, never both. So I built #Timebender: a visual planner that knows what you can actually fit before you say yes. timebender.io #scheduling #productivity

I think car navigation maps could use a lot of basic graphic design, such as visual hierarchy: These road blocks are small, and irrelevant to my route... My hands are itching to design a prototype care navigation maps (came up with many ideas during my ride!!) #skoda #map

Last week I had the honour of giving the keynote speech for the last day of #VIZBI (visualizing biology) in Cambridge, UK. The topic of my talk was "Seeing things differently" in which I showed and explained various concepts of #frameshift design. vizbi.org/Videos/57391... (you must register/pay)

I have registered an additional business name: Frameshift Design. I'm working on my next step in my business: radical communication solutions. I will be helping science and social organizations tell their most important stories in a radically different way, so they can make the impact they deserve.

Look how butter smooth this infinite timeline zooms in and out! I am currently building the prototype of Timebender, a scheduling tool that adapts your plan in real-time. Change one thing, everything updates instantly. I am collecting early interest: timebender.io Sign up and spread the word!

A missed design opportunity in calendars like @googlesearch.bsky.social #calendar is that full day events are shown on top as a bar, but this way the event, which lasts the full day, does not visually overlap with other events that day: if you miss that bar, no conflicts... it seems #visual-feedback

So, now you finally know how to divide the profit you've made!! ;-) But seriously, fascinating. And challenging to get right (in the episode 81, I talk a lot about QLik, with an unusual voice... hehe archive.datastori.es/episode/81/#...) But really really nice, and thorough too!!

Hi all 👋🏻, quick intro to all the new followers. For the past 13 years I have been crafting custom #dataviz as an independent #datavizioneer @ tulpinteractive.com. My work ranges from science communication, standalone interactive works, artistic experiments, data driven storytelling and much more.

Highly recommended reading for anyone interested in making #dataviz yourself. Great combo of #dataviz techniques, theory and practical example projects. By the great @flowingdata.com . And it's been my honor to be a technical reviewer for this edition!

3. Finally, since you have to scroll through time, you get a real physical experience of how long something is ago, which is nice, as just saying "2000 years ago" does not give you that actual real life experience

Jan Willem Tulp @tulpinteractive.com · 06/03/2024

2. You often think of people in history at a certain age. But all of them have been children too. And old people often too. You don't often think of that, and this #dataviz makes it explicit... for every year in history!

Jan Willem Tulp @tulpinteractive.com · 06/03/2024

1. With more common timelines you are "framed" into thinking in "year of birth" and "year of death", but not so much in "age at a certain year", which is hard to imagine. And... getting a sense who was alive simultaneously requires you to glance all over and keep things in mind
