Have you ever hesitated to post your work online because it didn’t feel “ready”? This post is for you.
For the Bubble hackathon, I created half_done, a small internet corner for unfinished ideas, abandoned projects, experiments, and things we never felt were “ready.”
Most of us wait for perfection before sharing our work. We keep projects hidden because they feel incomplete.
half_done is a place to post the things you loved, learned from, and worked on, without the pressure of a polished ending. I’d love to see the ideas, side projects, and half-finished things you’ve never shared.

What surprised me most was how it came together: it started as a single Bubble AI prompt. From there, I kept reshaping it step by step, turning a basic generated structure into something usable, expressive, and actually fun to use.
I am uploading both AI version and the final version here
How to actually win a Figma Makethon?
Aren't you interested on this question?
I like some of you, participated in the three editions of this challenge.
I wasn't serious enough in the first two.
However, with this one, I was and did invest time and money.
But nothing. Analytics says that only one person from the US checked the submission.
So I analysed the three editions to get the formula of winning.
The first thing: You must have a following or an audience here or outside. The 5 points of social will decide on where you go.
Second, you have to publish early or at least when there is still room for people to try your thing. And plays with it and even likes it and comment.
Third, if you make it to the recap video, it means you most likely is considered for winning.
At least that's what the analysis says. The data, went through both deepseek and claude.
You can check the analysis from : https://figmamakeathon.ta9in.com
