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!

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

End of last year I had a lot of fun with a #sideproject creating an oil painting simulation that paints a photo you upload. Still lots of improvements possible, but quite alright results. (video sped up 8x)

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

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
