There's a fish in my aquarium that's just a Saturday morning thought no one will ever know about...
There's another one that's a dream I'm still hoping comes true....
And one that's a 3am idea I almost forgot by breakfast...
That's Finlings. (Yes, I gave my feelings little fins.)
Journal your day, log a dream, write down something you're hoping for someday. Each one swims into a living aquarium as a fish.
It's a little silly. Unreasonably fun to make. 🐟✨
Honestly, building this for the Makeathon ended up being one of the most fun creative experiences I've had in a long time. 🐟✨

Finlings is SO cute!

Excited to submit "soundchecksf" a new and organic way to discovery live music.

Why this idea...I believe discovering new music these days is far too algorithmic. That said, taking a chance on seeing a live band you've never heard of has its own issues too. So I thought, what if I could build an experience that would simulate what it is like walking through an area only to hear a sound that pulls you in and creates a memory forever? This was very much inspired by what happened to me a few years back.
Enter...soundchecksf where you can take a stroll through a neighborhood and hear ACTUAL live music that's coming to a place near you! This updates every night 4amPST so you're bound to discover a new sound every time you come back.
How I built this...started with basically pen and paper (aka an app and Apple pen) quickly followed by planning and building a prototype with Claude. Then I used Figma Weave to build some assets and went into Figma Make to build key parts of this experience, one-by-one. After multiple rounds of polishing the UX, UI, the mobile experience, and ensuring I had accurate and functioning backend support...what has come out of all of this is something I'm proud to share.
Let me know what you think and wishing best of luck to all the other participants!
P.s For feasibility, UX, and credit reasons, I had to limit this to a few venues throughout certain neighborhoods in the Bay Area. Also, the artwork is loosely inspired by the place it's respresenting. I can't wait to build this out more, add more polish and yes, more cities!
Impressive
What if digital creation felt as natural as working with real clay?
Mitti is a gesture-controlled pottery experience that lets anyone sculpt virtual clay using hand movements. Instead of learning complex tools, users simply shape, narrow, widen, and refine pottery through natural interaction.
Start with different pottery styles, adjust wheel speed, and save finished creations to your personal collection.
Mitti explores how creative software can become more intuitive by replacing menus and controls with direct physical interaction.
Built using the Figma ecosystem for the Config Makeathon.

Meet ScribblePrompt.
It started with a moment at work. I was whiteboarding with one of our engineers, and the conversation felt faster, clearer, and more productive. That made me realize I wanted the same kind of experience with my coding agents, without sending screenshots, typing long explanations, and still not quite getting what I meant.
So me and @Carlneil Domkam built ScribblePrompt in Figma Make: a tool that lets you whiteboard with an agent, so ideas start as sketches, not walls of text.
If you like design tools that make ideation feel more natural, we’d love for you to check it out.
Features:
- Whiteboarding tools
- Sketch Context for Figma Make
- MCP for Claude and Cursor
- Sketch Assistant — generate sketches
- Responsive across desktop and iPad
Tools used:
- FigJam for ideation and brainstorming
- Figma Make for prototyping and implementation of the sketching tool, sketch context, and audio transcription
- Figma Design for UI design tweaks
- Figma Weave for logo generation and storyboard references
- Anthropic API for Sketch Context and MCP
- Gemini API for the sketching assistant:
It's been a fun 2 weeks participating in this hackathon! See you at Figma Config! 🚀
