For #ConfigMakeaton, I created FigConsole 65 ✨

FigConsole 65 - Community File
🚀 Overview
FigConsole65 is an explorable layer that sits on top of Figma, reimagining project files as a living pixel-art town inspired by the early web.
Instead of endless grids and forgotten notifications, cursors become characters, files become destinations, and comments become invitations to explore. Packed with mini-games, easter eggs, lore, and hidden interactions, it's an experiment in bringing curiosity back to the tools we use every day.
At its core, FigConsole65 asks a simple question: what if productivity software felt less like a chore and more like an adventure?
🧪 Process
I didn't start with FigConsole65.
I started by trying to make Super Smash Bros. with Figma cursors. It was fun, but it felt hollow—just another gimmick.
I tried adding features like importing your designs into a plugin, smashing them to pieces, even planting the wreckage in a little garden. But no matter how much I added, it still felt shallow.
I kept coming back to experiences like Cursor Camp, Club Penguin, and Animator vs. Animation; the strange personality of the early web, where clicking around felt like an act of exploration.
That led me to an idea: what if there was a hidden world between the Figma canvas?
I experimented with Figma Weave, burned through credits almost immediately, scavenged through asset packs, and eventually turned to Figma Agent, not to generate finished work, but to explore possibilities. I built collages from images I loved and asked the Agent to reinterpret them, slowly shaping a visual language for this world.
After more than a hundred generations, a style finally emerged.
Those experiments became the foundation of the pixel art. I used Figma Weave to animate scenes and bring individual assets to life, and from there I stopped building a game and started building a place.
The result was FigConsole65: a small world hidden between the files, built on the idea that even the most ordinary tools can still surprise us.
Because the problem I was trying to solve was never a lack of discipline. I wanted to build a world that I was excited to come back to.

FrameOrbit — Config Makeathon Submission 📸🌀
Sharing second project for the Config Makeathon: FrameOrbit.
https://cedar-thaw-04755246.figma.site/
Project published to the community.
FrameOrbit is a playful camera canvas experience where taking photos feels more spatial, visual, and alive.
The idea started from a simple question:
What if captured photos didn’t disappear into a hidden gallery, but stayed around your camera as part of the experience?
In FrameOrbit, the camera view sits in the center of a soft canvas. Every time the user captures a photo, it instantly appears as a framed image around the camera. As more photos are taken, the canvas starts to build a visual orbit of moments around the live camera view.
Users can:
Capture photos directly from the center camera frame
See each image appear instantly around the canvas
Apply different photo styles like Normal, Noir, Warm, Cool, Vivid, Fade, Retro, and Neon
Drag photos around the canvas
Tap any photo to open it in a cinematic full-screen viewer
Move between images using previous/next navigation
Save all captured images or reset the canvas
The goal was to make photo capturing feel less like a utility and more like a small creative ritual, a live memory board that grows with every shot.
Built with Figma Make, I focused on creating a polished interactive prototype with a soft visual system, floating photo cards, smooth viewer experience, and a simple flow that can be understood in seconds:
Capture → frame appears → build your orbit → explore your moments.
FrameOrbit turns the camera into a canvas. ✨

Make sense
Hey there! I'm new to Contra, and I've decided to take part in the Config Makeathon by Figma 🙌
I'm building Trazo: an app to train your creativity
These days we all have AI tools at our fingertips that boost our work — but what changes the result is the creativity you bring to them. And I believe that can be trained.
Here's how it works:
1. You get an ambiguous shape — a blob, a stone, a smudge. Something that isn't anything yet.
2. You look at it, rotate it, flip it around until something appears. A face, a bird, a wave — whatever you see.
3. You draw on top and turn it into that. You give it a name.
4. And at the end, the reveal: it shows you what everyone else saw in that same shape. Same blob, a hundred different things.
Being creative isn't about knowing how to draw. It's about seeing differently. And that you can train.
More coming soon.
Love thisss
I wanted to build a Sci-fi HUD creation tool with plenty of customization options.
So I built the SINGULARITY HUD CREATION TOOL
Live site: https://singularityhud.figma.site/
GitHub Repository: https://github.com/nytrite/SingularityHudCreationTool
SINGULARITY is a notch web-based studio for making cool animated graphics, technical drawings, and futuristic interfaces.
It works in your browser and uses special technology to make smooth animations.
The studio has a professional look, with a dark theme, orange accents, and a clean, simple design.
This makes it easy for designers to create and animate graphics and export them in a ready-to-use format, such as MP4.
The tool is great for making all sorts of graphics from animated user interfaces to schematics and cinematic sci-fi interfaces.
It uses an animation engine that makes everything look smooth and realistic.
With SINGULARITY, designers can make high-quality motion graphics and HUDs quickly and easily.
My process:
Pen and paper → Figma make → Using Figma make to generate ideas → Prompting it out as perfectly as I can get it to work → Connected to Supabase → Deployed
Thank you!
