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. 👇

Presenting Nayak 🦸
My Official submission for the @Contra HQ x @Bubble Challenge
Category: Social / Community
🔗Preview Link: https://arjustings-92273.bubbleapps.io/version-test/
Nayak (/naa-yek/)
n. Hindi for hero
Someone with unique strengths, hidden potential, and a story worth telling.
The idea is simple: everyone carries a superpower inside them. Something they're naturally great at but rarely stop to notice. Nayak helps you discover that hidden power, give it a name and a face, and share it with a community of people doing the same.
- Starting from the AI base
Nayak began with a single prompt. I used Bubble's own prompting guide to write a tight, well-structured first prompt. Clear about the app's purpose, the screens it needed, the data behind them, and the visual direction I was going for. It paid off immediately: the Bubble AI builder generated a solid, properly wired UI foundation on the very first try! Navigation and core pages already in place, not a loose skeleton I'd have to rebuild from scratch.
From there I leaned on Bubble's AI agent to move fast. Spinning up the additional screens and UI states I needed, refining layouts, and wiring flows without hand-building every element. It turned the usually-slow part of a build into something I could iterate on in minutes.
- What Nayak does
A short, deliberate 5-question quiz reveals your hidden superpower.
The Anthropic Claude API interprets your answers and generates a personalized power! Its name, its description, and its personality.
The Pollinations API generates a one-of-a-kind character illustration for it, so every result is a unique, custom hero card for you! No two alike.
Your power then joins the community wall, where you can explore everyone else's superpowers and like the ones that resonate with you.
- Category: Social / Community
Nayak is built around shared discovery, not solo results. The quiz is only the entry point. The heart of the app is the community wall, where every user's superpower lives alongside everyone else's. You can browse the powers other people have discovered, see what makes each one unique, and like the ones that resonate with you. It turns a personal moment of self-discovery into something collective: a growing, feel-good feed of people celebrating what makes each other special.
It's playful, personal, and a little addictive!
Part personality quiz, part social feed, all built around one feel-good idea: there's something special in you. So explore Nayak today and find your superpower!🤫
😅 "It will only take 5 minutes."
Famous last words.
The project was almost finished. ✅
The design was approved.
Everything was working perfectly.
Then the client asked for "one small change." 🤏
At first, it sounded simple.
But one change affected another section.
That section affected the layout.
And the layout affected the mobile version. 📱
What started as a 5-minute update turned into a much bigger task. ⏳
That's something every freelancer eventually learns:
Sometimes the smallest requests create the biggest changes. 💡
And that's why good communication is just as important as good development. 🤝
What's the most "small change" that turned into a big project for you? 😅
