Figma x Contra Config makeathon is, once again, clear proof of designers being able to ship innovative products.
Yet, in many projects, they are still heavily restricted.
I built Wave Studio as an invitation to imagine collaboration pass current limitations, where designers can contribute to codebases directly even when dev teams don't have the bandwith to build AI workflows for it.

For the #ConfigMakeathon, I built Rollroom 🎲
A desktop-only backgammon web app where you can create a room, share one link, play live 1v1, chat in real time, use voice commands, or play against a bot.
I built it with Figma Make, using Figma’s AI workflow to move from interface design to a working interactive prototype.
The idea: make a classic board game instantly playable online, without accounts, setup, or friction.

Figma X Contra challenge
Most journaling tools flatten memory into text boxes. Threadline turns memory into something you can see and touch. You enter a few real moments from your life, choose a thread color for each, and weave them into a canvas. The heavy ones show up as knots.
You can open a knot, sit with what it carried, and reframe it in your own words. Not to erase it.. just to hold it differently. When the thread softens, the memory stays. It just doesn't pull the same way. At the end you're left with a woven cloth made from your own story.
I built this for people who carry things they don't always know how to say out loud. Grief, change, loss, starting over.. those don't fit neatly into a journal entry. Sometimes it's tangled. Sometimes you don't know where to start. Threadline gives that a form: memories become threads, weight becomes tension, unresolved moments become knots, and reframed meaning becomes a gold stitch.
The flow: add your moments → choose thread colors → generate your Threadline → open a knot → reframe it → keep or share the cloth.
It's quiet on purpose. No streaks, no metrics, no gamification. Just a place to put what you've been carrying.
And honestly, if you're carrying something right now: you don't have to carry it perfectly. That's the whole point of this thing.
SPOT THE BOT, a gallery game about telling human creativity from a machine's
The problem. AI can now create almost anything, and for designers that's not abstract. The fear is that taste, judgment, the human "tell" in a piece of work no longer counts for anything. So instead of arguing about it, we made a game out of it.
The idea. Everyone gets the same prompt ("give beige a personality," "what keeps you up at 3am"), the same fixed kit of pieces, and 30 seconds. So does an AI. Every tile lands on a gallery wall, and players vote: which one is the bot? Then comes the reveal: who fooled you, and who you fooled. The constraint is the whole point. When everyone has identical pieces, the only thing separating the tiles is taste, wit, and choice, the human stuff. Right now the bot fools 72% of players, and every round feeds that number: a live, accumulating measure of where human judgment still holds the line.
The build & workflow. Designed and built end to end in the Figma ecosystem: the editor, the real-time multiplayer rounds (MAKE, VOTE, REVEAL), and the MUSEUM of every player-made tile. The asset kits (risograph, torn paper, duct tape, liquid metal, and more) were generated with Weavy.ai.
It's recursive by design: a game about spotting machine-made art, built with the machine's own creative tools. The medium is the argument.
