Cavalry's Web Player.
No one's talking about it.
Why? How??
Cavalry is sometimes known as an After Effects killer, responsive motion software, creative no-code, or a procedural way to design. A way to not just move vectors or pixels around, but to build something where changing one value can cascade and affect everything else you have set.
You decide the relations.
The rules.
How it behaves.
And the system just responds to whatever you give it.
With Web Player, that system no longer has to stay locked inside Cavalry. You can design your own interface, expose only the controls people need, and let someone who has never opened design software create assets from the rules you built.
I had to try it out.
I simplified an asset generator from a project with Daya Ventures, built the UI with HTML/CSS, and vibe coded a bit to get it all to work.
I did it in two evenings.
Still a proof of concept though and deploying it properly would need access control.
But the point is there: designers can build tools that let more people create on-brand content without reading half a brand book.
Or custom creative tools that generate ownable assets and use data to adapt to context.

CreatorSetup
Helping content creators achieve professional results with the gear they already own.
Content creation has never been more accessible. Every day, creators invest in cameras, tripods, microphones, lights, gimbals, and other equipment to improve their content.
However, owning equipment doesn't automatically translate into great results.
Most creators struggle with questions like:
Where should I place my lights?
What camera angle works best for my space?
How should I position my equipment?
What kind of outcome can I realistically achieve with the gear I already have?
Current solutions often rely on generic tutorials that fail to account for individual environments, available equipment, and content goals.
The Problem
Creators spend hours experimenting with setups, watching tutorials, and rearranging equipment before finding something that works. This creates a significant barrier for beginners and slows down the creative process.
The Solution
CreatorSetup is an AI-powered setup planning experience that helps creators generate personalized content creation setups based on:
Their content type
Their workspace
Their available equipment
Their desired outcome
Users select their content category, define or upload their workspace, choose the equipment they already own, and receive a customized setup recommendation showing how to position equipment and what results they can expect.
The goal is not to recommend more purchases.
The goal is to help creators maximize the equipment they already have and achieve professional-looking results regardless of their experience level.
Built with Figma Make & Figma Weave
This project was created using Figma's latest ecosystem of tools.
Figma Make was used to rapidly transform ideas into an interactive product experience, allowing me to design, prototype, iterate, and refine the complete user journey from onboarding to setup generation.
Figma Weave was used to create and generate visual assets, helping bring the product experience to life through high-quality imagery and creative exploration. These assets were integrated throughout the experience to better communicate setup recommendations and expected outcomes.
The workflow included:
Problem discovery and solution framing
User flow design
Interactive prototyping with Figma Make
Visual asset generation with Figma Weave
Recommendation system design
Experience refinement and iteration
By combining Make and Weave, I was able to move from concept to working prototype while maintaining a cohesive visual experience.
Impact
CreatorSetup lowers the barrier to entry for content creation by giving creators practical, personalized guidance instead of generic advice.
By removing the guesswork from equipment placement and setup planning, creators can spend less time troubleshooting and more time creating.

Awesome project. Actually very useful.
But how did you do your video? 😊
Hey Contra! 👋
I’m a UI/UX Designer from Ukraine 🇺🇦, currently based in Poland.
I've been designing websites and digital products for several years, helping businesses turn ideas into intuitive and user-friendly experiences. My background includes web design, mobile interfaces, landing pages and design systems.
What drives me as a designer:
✦ Creating experiences that feel simple and natural
✦ Solving real user problems, not just making things look pretty
✦ Finding the balance between business goals and user needs
My favorite tools are Figma, FigJam, Framer, AI-powered design workflows, and rapid prototyping.
I recently joined Contra and I'm excited to start sharing my work, design thoughts, and case studies here. 🚀
If you're a designer, founder, developer, or creator, let's connect and support each other.
Looking forward to meeting amazing people in this community! 🤝

Your mindset around creating intuitive experiences and solving real problems is exactly what makes great products.
Best of luck on Contra, and looking forward to seeing more of your work!
I present Doodle Fonts, my entry for Config Makeathon.
Making a custom typeface can be very complex and time consuming. Nearly every designer who wants a weird little display font for one project ends up licensing something generic, begging a type designer for a favor, learning a new complex pipeline or quietly giving up. Custom type is gatekept — not by talent, but by tooling. The most personal element of a brand is the one most people aren't allowed to touch.
Doodle Fonts fixes that. It's a font foundry that fits inside a canvas. You draw each glyph — freehand pencil, shapes, a dot grid, whatever feels right — across a full 96-character set covering upper, lower, numbers and punctuation. The whole alphabet renders live as you go, every font is saved to a library with an "X / 96 drawn" progress count, and when you're done you export a real, working, installable OTF font file.
It's built with Figma Make so it runs where designers already live, with Supabase handling auth and storage so your fonts follow you across sessions.
Display and brand type doesn't need PhD-level kerning — it needs personality. Doodle Fonts collapses "learn pro software + lose a weekend" into "doodle for twenty minutes," turning type design from a specialist skill into something anyone on a team can do.

Everyone keeps telling designers to "just make a custom font." Now they actually can.
Can't wait to see how many fonts get created!
Wow I love this! I've always wanted to moonlight as a type designer...@Carlos Fernandez what's your fav typeface?
