What a thrill — it's my first time at the Makeathon! 🚂 I joined the challenge a little late, but I worked hard to finish my project: Cozy Night Train (No es mucho pero es trabajo honesto :p )
I always use pomodoro and ambient music to focus, but this time I wanted to create something of my own. It has switchable modes, an interactive radio, and — to get creative — a typewriter to jot down your tasks!
I built the whole thing with Figma Make, and also used Weave and the Figma MCP so I wouldn't burn through all my Make credits too fast haha.

Built Monster Wall for the Figma Makeathon.
You create a monster, give it a power and publish it to a shared live canvas. Once it lands, it searches for its kindred spirit and connects to the closest match with a permanent gold thread. The wall stays alive with ambient effects, power ripples and real time cards dropping in as people publish.
Built entirely with Figma Make, Supabase for real time data and CSS animations for all the interactions.

Love seeing different approaches to the Makeathon. This is a thoughtful and well-executed project.
Proud to share my submission for the #configMakeathon 🦋
Design has one job — make people feel something before they think something.
For the #ConfigMakeathon, I built a complete digital campaign experience for Butterfly Conservation's "Britain's Favourite Butterfly" — taking a public vote and transforming it into something people actually want to be part of.
The challenge wasn't technical. It was human. How do you make someone genuinely care about a species they've never noticed? How do you turn conservation data into something personal? How do you design an experience that moves people from passive viewers to active participants?
The answer was architecture — three distinct experiences working as one:
🗳️ Results Explorer — A fully filterable species discovery system built around personality vibes, wing colours, and rarity. Not a leaderboard. A world worth exploring.
🧬 Personality Quiz — A matching experience that gives every user a butterfly identity rooted in real behavioural traits. Flashy. Feisty. Adventurous. Rare. When someone sees themselves in a species, the relationship changes entirely.
🌿 Conservation Narrative — A story-first approach to ecological data that earns its urgency rather than demanding it. The stakes land harder when you already have a favourite.
This is the kind of work I find most meaningful — where design isn't decoration, it's the strategy itself.

Pretty Good!
I made a tiny multiplayer shooter inside @Figma Make. ⚔️
No accounts.
No downloads.
Just small avatars battling random strangers in real time.
It’s called Avatar Shooter.
You drop into a shared battlefield where everyone gets the same simple tools:
→ Move
→ Shield
→ Shoot
→ Try not to get knocked back to spawn 😅
The idea was simple:
Could a multiplayer game feel fun with almost no complexity?
Tiny players.
Minimal controls.
Unexpected chaos.
I wanted it to feel lightweight, playful, and instantly understandable — open the link and you're already in the game.

This came out really well 🔥 Great balance of creativity and execution. I’m usually into projects like this, so I had to take a closer look at what you’re building.
