Carta Libre started with a simple frustration: the map of tech resources for people who didn't come up through traditional pathways doesn't really exist. So I charted one. Literally. Can you tell I've been in museums lately?
My submission for the #configmakeathon is a community-sourced portolan chart (yes, like the medieval navigators used) of AI and tech communities, mission-driven providers, and funders. Built with Figma Make and Figma Weave, ~100+ entries sourced via Perplexity and hosted on Supabase, visuals generated with Flux 2 Pro.
The fun part? Making something that looks centuries old point to where we're actually going.
I walk through it and some key features in the video below You can see it live here on Figma Make.
Attaching some of the best Flux 2 Pro images below in the comments!
The portolan chart aesthetic is such a smart metaphor. Using Flux 2 Pro for the visuals and Perplexity for data sourcing creates a really cohesive production pipeline. The framing around underrepresented people needing a different kind of map gives this real purpose.
✨ What if you could explore the lives you haven't lived yet?
For the Figma Makeathon, I wanted to create something beyond another productivity tool or AI assistant. I kept coming back to a question that all of us have asked at some point:
"What would happen if I chose differently?"
That question became Possible Lives — an immersive experience that transforms life decisions into explorable alternate futures.
Instead of telling users what choice to make, Possible Lives invites them to step inside multiple versions of their future. Through interactive timelines, future memories, artifacts, relationships, and alternate selves, users can experience the possibilities hidden behind a single decision.
As someone with a background in writing and visual storytelling, I approached this project less like a traditional app and more like a narrative world. I wanted it to feel like walking through a museum of futures, where every choice opens a new reality and every reality tells a different story.
The project explores themes of curiosity, uncertainty, identity, and possibility—turning decision-making into an act of exploration rather than prediction.
Because the future isn't one destination.
It's a landscape of possibilities.
