40 days ago, I decided to start growing on Contra from zero and document the whole journey publicly 🫶❤️💃. And now we’re here:

𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟒𝟎 🎉 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝟏,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐬

So much has already happened. In these 40 days, I’ve already managed to:

✅ reach 156 / 1,000 followers ✅ get my first contract ✅ get featured on the Contra homepage ✅ get into Community Favorites ✅ participate in 2 Contra challenges #CapCutDesignStudio Challenge & #stitchchallenge ✅ make it into the Top 10% of creatives on Contra

Not bad for the first 40 days, right? 👀

I’m still far from the final goal, but this already feels like proof that showing up consistently works.

𝗖𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀: 156 / 1,000 𝗦𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗳𝘁: 844 followers

Follow along if you’re curious to see whether it’s possible to grow on Contra from zero

More is coming 🤓🤓🤓

TrustFlow — an AI scanner and marketplace safety layer for more trusted online transactions

Thanks to the Makeathon and the 10,000 Figma credits I received to continue developing the project, I was able to complete a second, significantly expanded version of the TrustFlow prototype.

The original idea was simple: build an AI tool that helps buyers check risky marketplace items before making a purchase. During the next iteration, the project evolved much further — from a simple AI scanner into a complete SaaS demo for protecting buyers, sellers, and marketplace platforms.

TrustFlow now demonstrates a full safety workflow:

• buyers can upload product photos, videos, or listing URLs • AI scans the item, visual authenticity signals, seller risk, and suspicious patterns • the system generates an evidence report with risk scores, AI confidence, and visual markers • reports can be saved into an evidence vault, shared with sellers, or used during disputes • sellers can provide missing documentation through a seller review portal • marketplace operators can review suspicious cases in an admin dashboard • AI can help create safer marketplace listings from scan evidence, including a product title, description, condition summary, price estimate, authenticity warning, and protected payment recommendation • listings can include a TrustFlow Evidence Certificate with a clear Needs Review status, missing documentation, escrow recommendation, and a public verification link

A key part of TrustFlow is transparency. The system does not falsely claim that an item is automatically authentic. Instead of using unsafe language like “Certified Authentic,” TrustFlow uses an evidence-based approach: it shows what the AI detected, what documentation is missing, what the seller still needs to provide, and when protected checkout or escrow is recommended.

This new version of the prototype includes:

• a complete AI Product Scanner Demo • a SaaS App Demo Shell with 6 areas: Scanner, Report, Vault, Seller Portal, Admin, and Billing • an AI Verified Listing Builder for creating safer marketplace listings • a TrustFlow Evidence Certificate with careful and transparent wording • a Public Certificate Verification page with a QR/link preview, audit trail, and 30-day link validity • a U.S.-style Marketplace Safety Controls strip inspired by seller transparency, review integrity, and buyer-safe disclosure patterns • a Marketplace Plugin Preview showing how a TrustFlow badge could appear directly inside a marketplace listing • demo-safe wording that avoids claims of certified authenticity, legal authentication, real escrow custody, live banking, or regulatory certification

TrustFlow addresses several real marketplace problems at once: counterfeit goods, risky sellers, scam messages, off-platform payments, missing documentation, unclear evidence during disputes, and lack of transparency between buyers, sellers, and platforms.

The goal was not just to create a polished landing page. The goal was to show how AI and Figma Make can help move an idea quickly toward a complete product prototype — from the first product scan to a shared evidence report, seller review workflow, and marketplace integration.

TrustFlow is built around one simple idea:

Every marketplace transaction should become safer before the buyer sends money.
