Excited to submit "soundchecksf" a new and organic way to discovery live music. Link: https://soundchecksf.figma.site/ Community file: https://www.figma.com/community/file/1647490463683801916 Why this idea...I believe discovering new music these days is far too algorithmic. That said, taking a chance on seeing a live band you've never heard of has its own issues too. So I thought, what if I could build an experience that would simulate what it is like walking through an area only to hear a sound that pulls you in and creates a memory forever? This was very much inspired by what happened to me a few years back. Enter...soundchecksf where you can take a stroll through a neighborhood and hear ACTUAL live music that's coming to a place near you! This updates every night 4amPST so you're bound to discover a new sound every time you come back. How I built this...started with basically pen and paper (aka an app and Apple pen) quickly followed by planning and building a prototype with Claude. Then I used Figma Weave to build some assets and went into Figma Make to build key parts of this experience, one-by-one. After multiple rounds of polishing the UX, UI, the mobile experience, and ensuring I had accurate and functioning backend support...what has come out of all of this is something I'm proud to share. Let me know what you think and wishing best of luck to all the other participants! P.s For feasibility, UX, and credit reasons, I had to limit this to a few venues throughout certain neighborhoods in the Bay Area. Also, the artwork is loosely inspired by the place it's respresenting. I can't wait to build this out more, add more polish and yes, more cities!

I don't think you realize how COOL i think this is! Also, two of my favorite artists are in your video and I'm so jealous I'm not in town to see them haha. Nice work!

Just now noticed my typo, I meant to say “discover new music” haha. I was too excited to submit this, oh well, at least it let’s you know I didn’t use AI to write this for me.

Thank you everyone, this means a lot! I’m applying a fix later this morning to get the previews working again. Delayed on the account of parenting duties :)
Quick tip: use the Claude Chrome extension to help diagnose and plan a fix before wasting any Figma credits.

One last little (but impactful) change...I added the ability for this little guy to auto-stroll from one venue to the next so you can sit back and hear the sounds coming to the Bay Area! Just click ""Start Tour".
