Back to feedPost
The Config Makeathon closes in less than 3 hours.
I've been watching this feed for weeks. The snake games. The typing apps. The sportswear identities. The data tornados. The vocabulary tools.
Real products. Built under pressure. By real people.
That's not nothing. That's actually everything.
Here's what I want to say to everyone who submitted something — or even just almost submitted something:
The challenge window closes today. The work doesn't.
In a week, a month, six months from now — someone is going to open ChatGPT or Perplexity and type something like "who builds great interactive experiences in Figma?" or "best UI designers who ship fast?"
The Makeathon gave you proof. Real, timestamped, public proof that you build.
Now make sure the AI can read it.
Your bio. Your portfolio description. The first two sentences of your project page. That's what gets you cited — not the view count from this week, as much as I wish it did.
The feed remembers for 72 hours. AI search remembers for years.
You did the hard part. Don't let the easy part slide.
Congrats to everyone who shipped. Seriously. 🙌
Drop your submission below — I want to see what you built. 👇

your content doesn’t need more pressure. it needs a practice.
that’s the conversation i’m leading in my upcoming live session for The Spill series with Creator Tea Talk
a lot of creators and business owners are trying to fix their content by adding:
😵💫 more posts, more hooks, more trends, more pressure, or more “i just need to be consistent”
but sometimes the real issue isn’t that your content is failing. many of those times the pressure is data.
it might be telling you your content needs more:
🪴 clarity, trust, relevance, rhythm or relationship
this session is for the creator, founder, or service provider who knows they have something valuable to say but content has started to feel heavier than it needs to.
we’ll talk through how to stop treating content like a performance you have to survive and start building a content practice you can actually return to.
if your strategy only works during an ideal week, it’s probably not a strategy yet. it’s a fantasy calendar. & we’re going to fix that.
join me for the live session on THIS Thursday, August 27.

Project: FAP’s Closet — Social Media & Content Management
What I did:Managed Instagram content
Created promotional content
Used Canva to design visuals
Used CapCut for short-form videos
Created product-focused content
Used social media to build trust around a preorder business
Used content to make customers interested in products they couldn’t physically see before orderingBecause FAP’s Closet wasn’t a normal physical shop where customers could walk in and inspect the products.
Challenge: Customers had not physically seen the products before purchasing.
Approach: Used product presentation, captions, reassurance and engaging social-media content to make the products attractive and build customer confidence.
Result: Built customer interest and generated orders through the preorder model.
