BORED. Stop scrolling. Start doing.
For the Flowstep challenge, I built the product I keep wishing existed: a tiny decision engine for the moments when you have free time, but no idea what to do with it.
BORED. starts with a quick context check based on your available time, energy and company. Then it gives you one curated recommendation across four categories:
🎬 Watch a documentary
🎶 Listen to a playlist
🏡 Do something inside
🌲 Go outside
No endless feed. No decision fatigue. Just one good option, with the ability to retry when it doesn’t feel right.
The process became a real journey. I explored the initial direction with Figma Make, developed and iterated on the experience using Flowstep and Codex through MCP, then refined the visual system and complete interaction flow manually in Figma.
During the final sync, I ran into a persistent Figma API rate limit. Instead of letting that stop the project, I adapted the workflow and shipped the final clickable experience through Vercel.
It was messy, experimental and occasionally frustrating, but that is exactly what building something real looks like. What a journey. ✨
Built with Flowstep, Flowstep MCP, Codex, Figma Make, Figma and Vercel.
I also created a complete video walkthrough of the process. Since English is not my first language, I used an AI-assisted voiceover based on my own script so the story, decisions and challenges would be communicated clearly. The concept, design process, direction and final narrative are entirely mine.

can't wait to see your build
🚀 Excited to jump into the @Flowstep challenge!
I've had a product idea sitting in my head for a while, and this feels like the perfect opportunity to finally bring it to life. Looking forward to exploring, iterating, and turning an idea into a polished, clickable prototype.
Time to build something I'd genuinely love to use. Let's go! 💡✨

Just experiment.
Go niche.
Prompt once, then iterate, over and over.
"Prompt once, then iterate over and over" is underrated advice, most people bail after the first weak output instead of treating it like any other craft loop. Which of these four took the most rounds to get right?
