Just joined the #Config Makeathon on Contra 🚀 Better late than never... I'm working on a skateboard-themed project, designing it all in Figma and competing for a share of the $100k prize pool. Excited to see where this goes — stay tuned.

👀 What do you do when you get a hyperfixation, and suddenly all you do is refresh Contra, check notifications, and obsess over engagement on your Makeathon submission? Anyone else like this? 😅😅😅
Honestly, you might have noticed I’ve been a bit quiet with my growth updates lately — and that’s because for the past 2 weeks I was fully locked in on the #ConfigMakeathon 🥵
(I’ll also attach a screen recording in this post showing how to use the Skill Matrix for anyone who’s interested)
But today I’m back with a quick update to distract myself a little

As someone who's capable of opening the same analytics page 37 times a day, I refuse to judge 😄
What I find interesting is how quickly you've grown in less than two months. Was there a moment when you noticed a clear shift in traction, or did it feel more like a slow accumulation of small wins?
I may have spent 8,000 Figma Make credits building Pulse, but turning random 2 AM ideas into real products is apparently my favorite hobby.

woah i love the interactive design so much
🤯 I honestly can’t believe this…
I got an email saying that my project has been ✨ 𝗳𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮 ✨
When I submitted my digital journal to the Makeathon, I just hoped a few people would find it useful. I never expected this amount of support, feedback, comments, shares, and kind messages 💙
Seeing people try the journal, share their thoughts, and tell me it resonates with them has already made this experience incredibly rewarding.
Thank you to everyone who took a moment to support the project. Every like, comment, and share helped make this happen.

And if this journal helps even one person slow down, reconnect with themselves, and feel a little better, I’ll consider it a success ✨
Thank you. Seriously. This means a lot. 💙
Congrats🎉
