Fluid Switch

In nature, nothing moves in straight lines. Everything flows, bends, and adapts.

I've always been fascinated by how interfaces can feel more natural, more human. One day, while watching a water droplet slide down my window, I noticed something remarkable: the way it morphed, stretched, and compressed as it moved. It struck me - why do our digital interactions feel so rigid and mechanical when nature itself is so fluid?

This observation led me to reimagine one of the most common UI elements: switch. Instead of a simple toggle, what if it could move like that water droplet? What if it could stretch as it slides, compress when pressed, and flow between states with an organic grace?

The result is what I call the Fluid Switch, a small experiment in making our digital interactions feel more alive, more connected to the natural world we inhabit.
