I finally built a camera app concept I’ve been sitting on FOREVER.
You can upload photos into film strip and polaroid frames, change frame colors, add captions, resize stickers - all of it.
It lived as a static design for months. So I used Figma Make to generate the base interaction -it’s great for turning static frames into interactive flows without rebuilding everything manually.
Then I went in with the point and edit tools to tweak spacing, fonts, color, and layout until it felt right.
Big thing: don’t prompt the whole app at once.
Start with one screen. One clear action. One interaction to test. Get that working - then build from there.
One solid prompt + your original design (or even starting from scratch) is enough to move an idea forward.
🙋🏻♀️ What’s something you’ve been meaning to bring to life?
i have been meaning to build a pharmacy inventory management dashboard and i have finally gotten the time to work on it. cant wait to share
That’s going to be great! Excited to see your take on it
Love seeing ideas finally shipped 👌
Very clean concept and interaction flow.
Curious — how was your experience using Figma Make for this? Did it require heavy refinement afterward?
Appreciate that!
Honestly, Figma Make was a great starting point - it helped translate the idea into something interactive pretty quickly. I wouldn’t say it needed super heavy refinement, but I did go in and fine-tune spacing, hierarchy, and some of the interaction details to...
I’ve experimented with it a bit — really interesting workflow.
Feels great for rapid exploration before committing to full refinement 🙌
Cool concept
Monserrat You're such an inspiration😍
thanks so much Mishaal 🥹🫶🏻
wonderful, good work! 👍
yes it's one of my favorites!
Breaking it down to one screen, one interaction is such a smart way to move from concept to reality. This is how momentum builds. Static to interactive is such a satisfying shift. Well done.🙌
I really appreciate that. Breaking it down made it feel manageable 🙌🏻 Do you usually start your builds the same way?
Love seeing ideas finally brought to life. The photobooth concept is really fun and nostalgic.
Thank u! I’ve always loved nostalgic concepts - there’s just something special about bringing that feeling back in a fresh way

How do you explore ideas without fully committing to building them? 👀
I used Figma Make to quickly generate a website layout and then test two different color directions on top of it.
For early exploration, having a solid base to experiment on makes conversations much clearer and helps move decisions forward.
If you’ve been curious about Figma Make, this could be a simple way to bring it into your process. 🙌
Just started my Figma course early this year, and whenever I see exciting projects like this, it just keeps me motivated 🙌.
Strong prototype. The transitions feel like they’re carrying state + affordance cues, not just visual polish. That kind of motion clarity makes a huge difference in perceived usability.
Hi Community!
So, I’ve been exploring Figma Make during the initial planning process in designing a website. It feels like a good tool to explore a rough idea in real-time.
I like it - being able to iterate so quickly.
🚀 A tip from me would be to add it to your exploration process - it definitely makes it more fun.
Has anyone else added this to their workflow yet? 🧠
Love how Contra's community is providing tangible insights!
