BEFORE YOU SIGN
You sign contracts written by someone with a lawyer. You sign them without one. šļø
THE PROBLEM
We've all had the moment keys in your hand, an empty apartment behind you, and a lease slid across the table to sign. Or a contract lands in your inbox and you sign it just to get the project started. Nobody reads the buried terms; you check the rent or the pay and move on.
I learned the hard way. I didn't get my security deposit back from one rental, and another time a clause meant I got paid less than I was promised. The catch: every one of those was written by someone with a lawyer and most of us sign without one. And you can't hire an attorney for every lease, job offer, or terms of service.
THE BUILD
So I built Before You Sign for the Config Makeathon, entirely in Figma Make. Paste, upload, or scan any contract with your phone, and get a plain-English breakdown of what to watch for: what each clause means, where it's hiding, and what to ask before you sign.
You could paste a contract into ChatGPT or Gemini but you get back a wall of text to wade through. I wanted the opposite: just the actionable points, with the exact clauses highlighted inside the document.
It's region-aware (laws differ by country and state), works on mobile and desktop, and stays honest it tells you what to check, never claims something is illegal, and points you to a professional. Not legal advice. A head start.

The problem framing works because it's something almost everyone has experienced. Building the plain-English breakdown into Figma Make is a smart approach for the Config Makeathon. The use case for freelancers reviewing client contracts is really obvious.

For my Figma Makeathon submission, I built The Postcard, a web app that transforms ordinary messages into personalized digital postcards.
Users can customize their postcard with fonts, colors, stamps, and photos, then instantly generate a unique link to share with friends and family. The goal was to make digital communication feel more expressive while keeping the experience simple and accessible.
Built using Figma Make, the project explores how customization and thoughtful interaction design can turn a basic message into something worth sharing.

600+ pages in Framer is no small thing to maintain consistently. Curious how you handled template logic and CMS structure at that scale.

The passive listening angle is a genuinely smart UX bet. Did you test whether users preferred scheduled loops or just on-demand playback?
