BABBU
Every toddler invents their own language. Babbu is my daughter Matilda's word for ball. By the time she says it correctly, I'll have already forgotten how it sounded.
Babbu is a private dictionary for the words only your child says, the mispronunciations, the invented names, the sounds that make sense to no one but you. No social features. No accounts. Just a growing archive of a specific, unrepeatable moment in your child's life.
Try it here: https://adobe-slush-93538397.figma.site
āØ What it does
- Add a word as your child says it, plus what it actually means
- Record their voice directly in the app
- Automatically matches an illustration to the word's meaning, translating it from any language
- Colour-code each card
- Search your collection
- Share a snapshot of the full dictionary with family as a single link
š ļø Built with

Not every idea needs to start as a perfect case study.
So Iām using Figmaās first ever Config Makeathon, powered by Contra, as an excuse to open Figma, think bigger, and make something before I overthink it.
Itās happening NOW, from June 4 to June 18 and itās open to designers, creatives, builders, and anyone curious about creating in Figma.
Also, thereās $100k worth of prizes, so yes, I am suddenly taking my ālittle ideaā very seriously.
