Project Overview

To Dew is a project close to my heart. I've been working on design systems for around 2 years now. But ever since I was a kid, I've always felt that my everyday life exhibited the same qualities of design systems.

From the moment you wake up, you're already thrown into a system you didn't ask for. It's considered early to wake up before 9 AM — anytime after that is considered "sleeping in" or maybe others would even throw the word "lazy" at you. And although we didn't ask for this, it is fairly reasonable.

You see, time, whether we like it or not, is the only way for folks to demand consistency over others.

"Ill see you there in 30 minutes."
"Same time, tomorrow?"
"Let's go out tonight at 8 PM."

But somewhere in between those timestamps lies the space I like to call the In-Betweens.

That dinner at 8 PM doesn't start at 8 PM — It starts the moment you plan it. From the moment it's set you have to prepare for it, and consider every possible thing that must be done from now and then.

I created To Dew for the ambitious — the ones who live in the In-Betweens and want to see their time as fluid, not fractured.

Not quite a to-do list…

When I was designing this app, the biggest priority was for it to have a timeline, calendar based view. Our fourth dimension, time, differs from the other three in the sense that it's impossible to visualize.

To Dew is my best attempt towards visualizing that invisible dimension, and turning time itself into something interactive and alive.
