Navigations feels boring:, So i made a cool interactive Radial Sun-like navigation system using figma make.😊 This could have taken a lot of time to create, but I made this with the right prompt in figma make.

Keen to explore what else everyone shared and explore the potential of figma make. check it out on -https://plum-flash-10363646.figma.site/ community link- https://www.figma.com/community/file/1609781071964839563/interactive-navbar-component-for-aesthetic-sites Use case- This can be set as sticky button that floats through the site on scroll, making the process of switching pages easily possible at any scroll position. Best for smartphones, works for both.
