Here’s how to check your design color contrast for accessibility in Figma.
If you’re building and shipping products today, especially with AI tools, accessibility is something you shouldn’t overlook.
Color contrast accessibility simply means making sure the difference between your text color and background is strong enough for users to read.
For example:
• Light gray text on white ❌ hard to read
• Dark text on white ✅ accessible
If you’re shipping products, make sure everyone can actually use what you build.
Great reminder. Accessibility often gets overlooked, but proper color contrast can make a huge difference in usability.

My entry for the Figma Makeathon: Procedural Spring.
A procedural tree generator with default styles based on Figma colors and additional customization options.
You can control growth, sway, droop, and bloom through the camera or manually. Move to interact or fine tune every parameter yourself.
Minimal and slightly cozy. Hope you enjoy it!
Wonderful!
This is my submission to the Figma Makeathon: Meet Family Legacy, an app to commemorate the living.
In this app you can create a family tree for so future generations can learn the history of their family. You can find family members, stats about their life and even a place to see their social media
Beautiful direction. The emotional anchor is strong — especially framing it around ‘commemorating the living.’ It could be powerful to layer in timeline-based storytelling so memories evolve instead of feeling static. That longitudinal dimension would really differentiate it.
Grab the Bears - A Camera-Based Gesture Interaction
A few years ago, gesture interaction required a full engineering team and months of development.
For the Figma Makeathon, I built a working camera-controlled gesture game on my own - entirely in Figma Make.
Grab the Bears reimagines tap and swipe as physical gestures. Players use their right hand to grab floating bears in real time.
• Camera-driven embodied interaction
• Real-time gesture detection
• Animated UI + sound micro-interactions
• Dynamic result generation with shareable export?
Really impressive — camera-based interaction inside Figma Make is a leap. Curious how you handled gesture recognition latency and feedback loops? The micro-response timing probably makes or breaks the experience
