Built this for the Figma Config Makeathon — first time using Figma Make, first time using Figma period.
The problem:
I needed a fast way to create Reels and Stories for my tattoo flash designs. Every tool that does cost $$ and takes time to learn. I just wanted to drop in my art and make things move.
What it does: Uploads flash design/image, layer animated text behind and in front of it, swap backgrounds, add overlay elements, adjust everything — then hit fullscreen and record your screen. Done. Made it lean at first so I didn't waste credits,
What I learned: Figma Make is genuinely wild. The co-creation loop with the agent is fast and easy. I've been building Tattoo Booking Shop solo for a while — Bubble, Flutter, Stripe, the whole stack — and this was a completely different kind of building.
More to come. Let me know what you think
