I joined the Config Makeathon.  Our challenge was to design and build something that makes a difference, to use Figma's new tools and test them out.  I built Trail Scope - a community-powered, mobile-first web app that lets outdoor enthusiasts in Puerto Rico check and report trail conditions in seconds — no group chat required. It took a week o design and develop this app using Figma + Figma Make.  Overview

Problem statement: Outdoor enthusiasts in Puerto Rico — trail builders, mountain bikers, hikers, and runners — have no centralized way to know the current conditions of our local trails. Unpredictable tropical weather forces community members to contact multiple social media groups to get a trail status update which may take hours or days. This uncertainty leads to plans being changed or canceled last minute, and in more serious cases, exposes users to hazardous or impassable trail conditions.

Opportunity: By creating a community-powered, mobile-first trail condition reporting app, Trail Scope can become the single source of truth for trail status in Puerto Rico — with the foundation to scale globally. Reducing friction in getting and sharing real-time trail information increases safety, improves the outdoor experience, and strengthens the local trail community. Users & audience

Primary persona — the active outdoor enthusiast Mountain bikers, hikers, trail runners, and trail builders based in Puerto Rico. They are mobile-first, active on social media, and currently rely on WhatsApp groups or Facebook to get trail updates. Their biggest pain points are uncertainty before heading out and wasted trips due to poor conditions.

Secondary persona — the trail steward Trail builders and maintainers who want to alert the community about hazards, closures, or recent work done on a trail. They are proactive contributors who care about trail safety and community trust.

Trail Scope is a genuinely useful idea. The problem you're solving is real, hikers getting stuck with outdated info from scattered WhatsApp groups is a safety issue, not just an inconvenience. The nature illustration style fits the outdoor context really well too.

🌱 Proud to share my submission for the Config Makeathon by Figma!

I built Symbiotic City — a full-stack sustainable community platform that connects residents, businesses, and local authorities to co-create greener, smarter, and more resilient cities.

🔍 The Problem: Cities are growing rapidly, but communities are becoming increasingly disconnected. Thousands of sustainability efforts — community gardens, recycling drives, youth mentorship programs — happen in isolation with no unified platform to bring people together and amplify their impact.

💡 The Solution: Symbiotic City is a one-stop platform that makes sustainable living accessible, collaborative, and actionable for every resident.

🛠️ What I Built:

🛒 Sustainable Marketplace Buy, sell & discover eco-friendly products and services from local businesses — with full cart, wishlist, and checkout including UPI, Card & Cash on Delivery

👥 Community Forum A social feed to share ideas, post sustainability updates, like, comment & follow trending topics like #SolarEnergy and #ZeroWaste

📅 Events Hub Discover, register for & create local sustainability events — clean-up days, gardening masterclasses, digital skills workshops — with live attendee tracking

🌳 Project Collaboration Join or create community-driven initiatives with real progress tracking, impact levels & member counts

🚨 Emergency Services Instantly locate nearby police stations, hospitals & fire stations with one-tap calling

🔐 Dual Role Auth Regular Users & Site Owners with role-based access and personalised dashboards

⚙️ Built entirely with Figma's suite of AI tools: → Figma Make — entire app built through AI-powered prompts → Figma Agent — design refinement and interactions on canvas → Supabase — full live backend with 10+ tables, auth, cart, orders & notifications → Figma Sites — published as a live, publicly accessible web app

🌍 Impact: Symbiotic City reduces the friction between intention and action. Whether you want to buy local eco-products, join a community garden, or attend a sustainability event — everything is in one place, for every resident, in any city.

This platform is built to scale — from Ahmedabad to any city in India and beyond.

Built solo for the #ConfigMakeathon — a global hackathon by Figma challenging builders to create something meaningful with AI tools.

Would love your feedback and support! 🙌
