@Figma @Contra What if online communities had a beach instead of just a chat room?🌊

Read fully🚨

Over the past few days, I’ve been building Partly - a browser-based virtual beach party where people can join instantly, create an avatar, explore a tropical island, chat in real time, dance to music, and hang out together.

The goal was simple: make online socializing feel more like being somewhere, rather than just sending messages.

🔗 Try Partly: https://partly.figma.site/

No downloads. No VR. Just join, meet people, and enjoy the party. 🌊

✨ Features:

• Real-time multiplayer world

• Live chat with other players

• Interactive beach environment

• Party stage with music

• Campfire hangout spots

• No downloads required

🚨 Best experienced on desktop for the full beach party experience.

Everything runs directly in the browser, making it easy for friends, communities, and creators to connect and share experiences together.

Not every idea needs to start as a perfect case study. So I’m using Figma’s first ever Config Makeathon, powered by Contra, as an excuse to open Figma, think bigger, and make something before I overthink it. It’s happening NOW, from June 4 to June 18 and it’s open to designers, creatives, builders, and anyone curious about creating in Figma. Also, there’s $100k worth of prizes, so yes, I am suddenly taking my “little idea” very seriously. Join the Makeathon: https://c87.to/jun26-figma-karen
