π What do you do when you get a hyperfixation, and suddenly all you do is refresh Contra, check notifications, and obsess over engagement on your Makeathon submission? Anyone else like this? π

Honestly, you might have noticed Iβve been a bit quiet with my growth updates lately β and thatβs because for the past 2 weeks I was fully locked in on the #ConfigMakeathon π₯΅
(Iβll also attach a screen recording in this post showing how to use the Skill Matrix for anyone whoβs interested)
But today Iβm back with a quick update to distract myself a little

π I made it into the Top 5 creators on Contra
π Discovery score grew by 4 points β now itβs 127
π Ben Huffman followed me β which honestly feels like a huge milestone for me, especially since Iβve been on Contra for less than 2 months

As someone who's capable of opening the same analytics page 37 times a day, I refuse to judge π
What I find interesting is how quickly you've grown in less than two months. Was there a moment when you noticed a clear shift in traction, or did it feel more like a slow accumulation of small wins?
Thanks, Rada π« I can say that the algorithm loves you if you post every day, it is the most important thing :)

Honestly, I usually hate social media because of the constant refreshing, but this space feels different. Itβs not about wasting time - itβs about sharing values and finding inspiration within a truly supportive community
Agree, Thank you Kate π

MyΒ final submissionΒ for the ConfigΒ Makeathon! π
What if you could see the world through the eyes of a local? π§
A quick search doesn't always cut it. We get funneled toward the same generic spots, and half the time we don't even know why something's being recommended to us.
IncolaΒ fixes that. Just ask someone who actually knows the place you're heading to. π§³
Where should I go if I love history and I've got 2 days in New York? Where do I find open-air house music events in Tokyo? Ask a local. And while you're at it, help other travelers by answering the open questions about your own city.
Try it now! The more people jump in, the faster we leave the cold start problem behind. π

Good work
Iβve created a Local Secret project to share local places with everybody else, hidden jams that you can find only in there.
I used Claude to brainstorm ideas, prompts, tools to use before jumping into Figma. And I used free plan for it.
After above, Iβve prepared 9 prompts that should give me the final result in #Figmamake but in reality it took me 72 prompts and almost 13,000 tokens for AI.
Iβve also connected Supabase for backend memory and Github for saving the code. Itβs incredible what you can do!
With next iteration, Iβll fix the uploading of photos, however your secrets can be already shared with everybody.

for limited time while this competition is on π«Ά #ConfigMakeathon and @figma
also you can check the file how it was created π https://www.figma.com/make/31kRzc6pePdxdoTaRi0OdS/Local-Secret?t=X8Zuoi6Gh7Pvn8t4-1
I wanted to share in community but because itβs connected to Supabase, itβs not possible, so just a link for you to the file.
you can also find my app for freelancers on App Store called stePlan π€ Thank you for being an awesome community!
