Been playing around with a new toy of mine - Raspberry Pi Pico
Built a tiny project - morse code converter.
I really love experimenting with different tech, trying stuff out, building small projects and learning about things I don't get to touch during my usual work.
Researching a new technology, building a cool, tangible project and actually making it work is probably the best feeling a human being can experience! :)
Seeing the complexity of even the least sophisticated computers makes you really appreciate everything around you!
(btw hello world is .... . .-.. .-.. --- / .-- --- .-. .-.. -.. in morse code!)
Very cool direction. Small exploratory builds are often where the best learning happens. Curious — what inspired the morse code converter idea?
chatgpt :)
Haha fair enough 😄
Honestly just curiosity + wanting to build something small but fun. Morse felt like a perfect “simple but interesting” problem.
something satisfying about building something tangible from scratch especially when it actually works😊

Yesterday, I decided to join the Figma hackathon, and I have to say, I’m really enjoying it. I’m not publishing anything yet because I’m planning to add and test quite a few more features over the next few days.
The app is called Nodify, and the idea is that we’ll be able to create almost anything, the possibilities are truly endless. The ultimate goal (which I haven’t fully achieved yet, but I’m working on it) is to allow users to export the effects they create and use them wherever they want, for example, on their own website.
What do you think about this effect so far?
It might look a bit basic at the moment, but until now I’ve been focused on building a strong foundation and making sure everything works properly. Over the next few days, I’ll be focusing on adding new nodes and developing the export functionality.
Excited to see the finished product!
Just wrapped up my submission for the Figma Makeathon.
Had a blast exploring Figma Make and pushing the limits of interaction design. Can't wait to see what everyone else built!
Fingers crossed! 🤞
Good luck!!!!
What if the most powerful thing you could do with a cursor…
was nothing?
For the Figma Make Makeathon, I built The Stillness Paradox — a 30-second experience that reimagines the most fundamental interaction in computing.
Move → chaos.
Be still → beauty.
No buttons. No instructions.
Just a world that mirrors your nervous system.
Built entirely in Figma Make.

Wow, the changing of the city to calm based off the cursor! Such a great idea!!
