Many years ago, I had a desire to get to know the world of bees and beekeeping. So in 2022, I decided to put my idea into practice. In the early spring of 2023, I acquired several bee colonies, and later that year I found an instructor, a family friend and long-time beekeeper who taught me the practical and theoretical secrets of beekeeping. During the lessons, he kept mentioning the word "polako" ("slowly"), because bees do not like anything forced, fast, sudden or angry, but rather pure thoughts, calm and slow movements. He would use the word "polako" ("slowly") as a kind of mantra with every movement, and it seems to have had a therapeutic effect on both the bees and me. So during my first spring honey extraction (my first honey extraction ever), I decided to make a label for my honey and call it "polako" ("slowly").
The very beginning of the project was particularly demanding because it did not have a project specification nor was it supported by a vision to organise it. Taught by previous experiences, I realised that the very beginning should be an extensive research of all interactive and functional groups of the application. In this way, it was much easier to spot, count and improve all functional elements, such as buttons, form selectors and other similar elements, which later made up a comprehensive design system. It was easier also to manage and improve the user experience in the parts of the application that are crucial for users, and which presented great difficulties and created problems such as registration, booking meetings, creating and editing user profiles, participating in online and hybrid sessions, video meetings, video conferences.
