Vaultra — A fintech app that tells freelancers/self-employees/Solopreneurs how much they can safely spend.
Freelancers don't get a paycheck with taxes already deducted. Every deposit still owes self-employment tax, federal tax, state tax — plus business expenses and an emergency buffer. A $5,000 payment might only be $2,800 of real spending money, but no app tells them that.
Vaultra connects your bank via Plaid, runs the full US tax stack on your balance, and shows one number: Safe to Spend. Not categories, not charts — just the answer to "can I afford this?" in real time.
Currently in MVP design phase. Built with Figma, Flutter, Supabase, Plaid.
Feedback welcome — especially from freelancers.
A waitlist landing page is coming soon. I'll drop the link here once it's live. 👏

as framer template market gets noisier, we’re taking the opposite route: fewer templates, higher standards, more polish

Nice work👏
What can you create with Figma Motion?
Figma recently introduced Figma Motion, a new way to add animations directly inside your design file.
Of course, I had to try it myself.
I created this scene to test how it handles simple looping animations.
It’s still in beta, so there are a few limitations, but it’s already quite intuitive and beginner-friendly.
Sharing my process walkthrough in the comments.
Have you tried it yet?
Every new Figma file starts the same way.
Variables. Page structure. Base frames. Annotation components. Cover slide.
Twenty minutes of setup before a single design decision gets made. If you're a product designer, you'll know exactly what I mean.
𝗦𝗼 𝗜 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁 𝗮 𝗽𝗹𝘂𝗴𝗶𝗻. Meet Starter, one click, and your entire foundation is ready.
→ Core variables: Typography, grids, spacing, and colours
→ Page structure: A clean, organised file hierarchy
→ Base frames: Pre-configured frames hooked up to your grids
→ Helper components: Sticky notes and status labels for quicker documentation
→ Base cover: A customisable project thumbnail

Brilliant work! I'm testing it now!
