For my Figma Makeathon submission, I built The Postcard, a web app that transforms ordinary messages into personalized digital postcards.
Users can customize their postcard with fonts, colors, stamps, and photos, then instantly generate a unique link to share with friends and family. The goal was to make digital communication feel more expressive while keeping the experience simple and accessible.
Built using Figma Make, the project explores how customization and thoughtful interaction design can turn a basic message into something worth sharing.
✨ Personalize it. 🔗 Share it. 💌 Deliver it.

Try it out and send your first postcard!!
This is really lovely!
thank you for your kind words 😊
Aww.. this is really cute 👏
thank you 😊
Thank you! I'm using Supabase as the backend/database. Each postcard is stored with a unique ID, and the share link points to that specific postcard so it can be viewed in real time. ✨

Love the simplicity here — fonts, stamps, shareable link. Sometimes the most focused ideas are the most powerful. Great execution with Figma Make!
Thank you so much! 😊 That was exactly the goal to keep the experience focused and let the postcard itself be the star. I'm glad the little details like the stamps, typography, and shareable link came through. Really appreciate the kind words!

I finally wrote about the process behind The Postcard 🌷
What started as me staring at an old postcard on Pinterest somehow turned into a Config Makeathon project, 50+ Figma Make versions, lots of failed iterations, debugging sessions, and a surprisingly fun introduction to vibe...

Green for me, and I'd bet on it converting better too. The red version is loud in the way every food app is loud, while the green makes the burger the hero and the screen instantly recognizable in a feed. The green background also gives the white FLAVOR POP type far more contrast, so the message lands a beat faster.
Niceee
Started this messages flow in light mode. then I did a dark version just to check. Now I can’t pick, so i’ve handed the decision to strangers on the internet

Light mode gets my vote here. The message bubbles and the blue accent have room to breathe against the white, and the timestamps stay readable at a glance. The dark version looks slick, but for a screen people stare at all day, the light one will feel easier on the eyes over a long chat.
