Most check-ins ask how people feel. STARTFIELD asks what the room has capacity for.
Two minutes before a workshop or team session, a facilitator often has to decide whether to begin as planned, slow down, add context, or reduce the scope.
STARTFIELD turns three anonymous, temporary responses into a tactile collective field:
Ready to dive in
Need a slower start
Need context first
No names. No personal profiles. No historical tracking. No automated recommendation.
The field makes the group’s current capacity visible, while the final decision remains human.
Built as Day 12 of my 30 Days of Real Business Problems challenge, using Figma Make, original 3D token assets, and Animos for the presentation film.
The room resolves before the session begins.
Live prototype:

How should a facilitator read the room without turning a check-in into surveillance?
No names and no historical tracking is what makes this actually usable instead of another mood tracker nobody trusts. My guess on your own question: as long as the field only shows aggregate state and resets every session, it stays a tool instead of a record. Did anyone in testing push back on that assumption anyway?
Your website has less than 3 seconds to make a first impression.
A beautiful website that loads slowly can lose visitors before they even see your content.
When I build WordPress websites, I don't just focus on design—I also focus on performance.
Here are five things that make a real difference:
🚀 Compress and optimize images
⚡ Use lightweight themes and only the plugins you actually need
📱 Design mobile-first for a faster experience on every device
🔍 Optimize Core Web Vitals and page speed
🛡️ Keep WordPress, themes, and plugins updated for security and performance
Speed isn't just a technical metric.
It affects user experience, search visibility, and ultimately, conversions.
A fast website feels more professional, builds trust, and encourages visitors to stay longer.
What's the slowest website you've visited recently, and what made you leave?
Great design💯
🚨 The API is returning 200… but your data is wrong?
This can be harder to debug than a clear error.
When I troubleshoot backend issues, I check:
🔍 Database queries
🔍 API request/response data
🔍 Authentication state
🔍 Backend logs
🔍 Frontend data handling
A successful API response doesn't always mean the application is working correctly.
Sometimes, the real bug is hiding in the data flow.
Have you ever spent hours debugging a problem that turned out to be one small line of code? 😅
Thanks for the tips ❤
