🍕 Pizza Lab — A Visual Pizza Design Studio

The Problem
Digital food ordering is often a static, uninspiring experience. You click checkboxes on a text list and just hope the food looks good when it arrives. I built Pizza Lab to solve this by turning the ordering process into an immersive, highly visual design experience.
The Workflow: Built with Figma Make & Weave
To bring this highly interactive UI to life, I utilized a full Figma AI workflow:
- Asset Generation: I used Figma Weave to generate the highly realistic pizza layers (crusts, sauces, cheeses, toppings) and the chef's expressions. I then processed these and hosted them via Cloudflare R2 for perfect top-down stacking.
- Code Generation: I designed the core interface components—including the ingredient carousel, the recipe card, and the dynamic feedback module—in Figma. Using Figma Make, I prompted the designs directly into fully functional, production-ready UI code. This allowed me to focus heavily on the complex app logic (state management, CDN integration, and Framer Motion animations) rather than writing boilerplate code.
Key Features:
- Live Layer System: Four stacked layers (Crust → Sauce → Cheese → Toppings) with a live top-down orthographic preview.
- Ultra-Realistic Details: Features per-ingredient random rotation for visual variety, a subtle heat shimmer animation on the pizza, and realistic drop shadows.
- Keyboard First: Fully navigable via keyboard (↑/↓ to switch layers, ←/→ to navigate the smooth-spring ingredient carousel, Space to select).
- Dynamic UI: 4 table textures (Dark Marble, Walnut, Oak, Light Marble) where the UI text automatically adapts its color to remain readable on both light and dark surfaces.
- Chef Feedback: An animated chef character reacts to your ingredient pairings (e.g., looks disappointed at pineapple), featuring quotes from famous Neapolitan pizza masters.
- Export & Share: Randomize gourmet combinations, save the exact recipe as a JSON file, or encode the exact pizza state into a shareable URL!

I built a virtual Ikebana experience. It's called Project: Ikebana. 🌸
It's the first time I've ever built something with gesture controls, worked with 3D assets, and vibecoded this much with Figma Make.
Try it here!
Ikebana is the traditional Japanese art of flower arranging. It literally translates to "giving life to flowers."
Project: Ikebana is my attempt to bring that idea into a digital space.
You can create floral arrangements in both 2D and 3D, using either hand gestures or traditional mouse controls.
The part I love most: the little moments of whimsy.
Sliding Japanese fusuma doors.
Tiny kaomojis q(≧▽≦q).
Petal-shaped gesture tracking markers.
This project started with a bunch of moodboarding into FigJam board, grew through 100+ make iterations, and somehow led me into learning 3D workflows, gesture interactions, databases, debugging, and a whole lot more.
I used Weave to create many of the visual assets and models, then brought everything together in Figma Make with Supabase powering the project's content library.
I love how tools like Weave and Make encourage you to focus on what something should feel like, not just how to build it.
If there's one thing I'd love people to take away from this project:
Try something new.
You might surprise yourself.
(≧∇≦)ﾉ
This is honestly so beautiful and elegant! I love the concept a lot and you have brought it to life so well :)
me and my partner @Ganesh Deherkar built the good jar for the @figma config makeathon.
a little web app where you log your wins, big or small, and on a hard day, it finds you one from the past.
every design choice came back to touch — paper texture, a handwritten font, a jar that actually opens. we wanted it to feel physical, not like another productivity tool.
the toolkit —
figma — design
figma weave — generating the jar scenes
figma make — bringing it all to life

Amazing!! Nice concept🙂
Design System Gen
A tool for rapid client project kickstart — built with Figma Make + Claude API
The Problem
Every new client project starts the same way.
You receive a moodboard, some references, maybe a Pinterest link. You're expected to build something consistent — across Figma Make, Cursor, Claude — but there's no real foundation yet. No tokens. No rules. No shared context between tools.
Most designers spend hours on setup before writing a single prompt. I got tired of doing that. So I built a tool to eliminate that stage entirely.
What It Does
Design System Gen turns a client moodboard into a ready-to-use design system foundation — in one click.
Upload the client's references → the tool analyzes them across 8 dimensions:
Palette / Mood/ Typography/ Composition/ Lighting/ Texture/ Motion/ UI DNA
Hit "Apply all to form" — the entire design system form fills automatically.
Then generate. You get 11 files, each tailored to a specific AI tool:
File:
figma-make.md For Figma Make Full design system context — paste once, build everything in Make
design-system.css Any project All tokens as CSS custom properties, ready to import
tokens.json Figma Variables W3C Design Tokens — import directly to Figma Variables
starter.tsx React / Next.js React component starter with all tokens already bound
cursorrules Cursor Cursor AI rules — drop in root, it knows your design system
Claude.md Claude Projects Claude reads it automatically every session
DESIGN.md Documentation Human-readable design decisions and rationale
llms.txt Any LLM Machine-readable brand context, like robots.txt but for AI
components-api.md Dev reference Component props, variants, and usage documentation
prompts.md All AI tools Ready-made prompts for every AI tool in your stack
web-skills.md Component library in vanilla HTML/CSS — buttons, cards, modals, nav
Every tool gets its own customized kit — tokens, rules, prompts — all consistent with each other. Not one generic output. A separate file per tool.
Figma Make Integration
In Figma Make: add two files at the start of a session and you're ready to build immediately.
Because the design system context is already loaded — Figma Make knows your colors, tokens, spacing, component rules — your prompts stay minimal. No need to re-explain the design system every time. You spend a fraction of the tokens you normally would.
A full landing page — generated in a single run, with remarkably few tokens spent per prompt.
No back and forth. No prompt engineering from scratch. The context file already did that.
How It Was Built
Built entirely in Figma Make + Claude.
Published as a live web app via Figma Make publish → vibecodingdsgen.figma.site
Powered by Claude API.
Claude processes the uploaded moodboard and returns structured output — design parameters, tokens, and prompt sets — all formatted specifically for each target tool.
Output connects directly to Figma Variables.
W3C Design Token format and can be imported into Figma Variables in three ways: via Tokens Studio plugin, through a Figma Make prompt, or using a custom Figma plugin — for teams who want full control over the import flow or one special file
The entire tool — UI, logic, API integration, file generation — was built and shipped inside Figma Make. No external hosting. No separate codebase.
Why I Built This
Speed — rapid kickstart for every new project, starting from the client's own references, not templates.
Consistency — every AI tool in your stack speaks the same design language from day one.
Predictable output — a base that only needs refinement, not rebuilding.
Token efficiency — a full landing page was generated in a single run.
The tool is fully live — you can explore the demo without any setup.
Want to generate your own design system? Add your Claude API key directly in the tool and try it with your own moodboard. The full generation takes 3–4 minutes and produces all 11 files ready to use.

#ConfigMakeathon #FigmaMake #DesignSystem #VibeCoding #ClaudeAPI
This tool uses a connection model nobody seems to write about. There are currently three ways Claude connects to Figma: via MCP server, via Figma's built-in AI, and — what I built here — a React app running inside Figma Make that calls the Claude API directly from the browser....
