Vesper and Ember are stunning. The dark backgrounds make the botanical forms feel almost luminous. The naming adds a lot of character too.
Thank you so much!
Eye Catching🙌
Love the visuals, one of the best have seen so far today....... Keep up the great work

Hey everyone!
I made Meadow🙌 — a small, shared corner to step out of the world for a minute.
Some days the world is just a lot. Meadow is a small, shared corner to step out of it for a minute.
It's a living garden grown by strangers — every flower in it was built, petal by petal, by a real person somewhere, and the field keeps growing with each one. Make your own bloom from scratch: shape the petals, choose the colors, set its height, give the stem its own curve and leaves. Plant it, and it joins the meadow for the next person to find.
Flowers growing close together slowly cross-pollinate, blending traits with their neighbors — so the garden quietly evolves on its own, untended. Go still, and tiny creatures wander out to rest on the petals. Hover, and the others lean aside to let one shine. When it looks beautiful, snap a picture to keep or share.
Built entirely in Figma Make with a Supabase backend: a procedural flower engine generates every bloom from its own set of traits, so no two are ever alike — and because the meadow is a shared, persistent garden, every flower you and strangers plant stays in the field as it grows, without limit.
A calm place, made by many hands.

Today's design exploration started with a Dribbble inspiration piece.
Rather than copying it directly, I challenged myself to reinterpret the concept and experiment with a completely different visual direction.
The original inspiration uses vibrant blue and orange colors to create an energetic feel, while my version leans into a darker, more premium aesthetic.
A great exercise in studying design principles and then applying them through your own lens.

Did you know a tornado formed the year you were born?
Not a real one. A data one.
Type your birth year. Watch the storm react - the speed, the color, the rage of it - all driven by the exact CO₂ levels recorded that year.

🔬 The Problem
Climate change is the most documented crisis in human history. Scientists have been collecting data for over 65 years. But most people feel nothing when they see the numbers - because a wall of data doesn't make you care. That is a design problem. The Data Tornado is my answer.
⚙️ How It Was Built
I started in FigJam - mapping the full app structure, severity color system (Stable → Elevated → Critical → Extreme), and the 65-year climate timeline before touching any build tool.
In Figma Make, I loaded my complete design guidelines first - colors, fonts, spacing rules - so every generated output matched my vision from the first prompt. That one step eliminated hours of corrections.
The MCP connector was the most critical technical piece: a custom live pipeline to NOAA's servers, pulling real CO₂ and temperature readings automatically every time someone opens the app. No downloading. No pasting. Always live.
The hero background video was generated entirely in Figma Weave - I set a start frame and end frame, and Weave generated the full atmospheric storm footage between them. The Figma Agent handled precision edits throughout -clicking directly on individual elements, repositioning buttons, aligning sections, without touching anything else.
Supabase powers the share cards, news gallery, and live data caching. GitHub handles deployment.
🛠️ Tools Used
→ FigJam: full app structure, severity system & data flow diagrams
→ Figma Make: prompt-to-code app with custom NOAA MCP connector
→ Figma MCP: live pipeline direct to NOAA's climate API
→ Figma Weave: AI video generation for the hero storm background
→ Figma Agent: precision element-level UI edits throughout the build
→ Supabase: backend for share cards, news & data caching
→ GitHub: deployment and version control
✨ Key Feature - Birth Year Telemetry
Enter your birth year. The app instantly generates your personal climate log -the exact CO₂ concentration the year you arrived in the world, your temperature anomaly then vs. now, your severity level at birth vs. today. It stops being a global statistic. It becomes yours.
Most people go quiet when they see their own number.
