I've been working on something over the past week, that started as job board exploration but the more I built the more I realised the valuable part wasn't the jobs, its everything that happens after you apply.

So FOUND slowly evolved into something closer to a job search operating system with:

• Application tracker • Kanban board • Calendar view • Interview timeline • Notes workspace • Reminders & follow-ups • Momentum tracking

Whether opportunities come from LinkedIn, referrals, recruiters, startup websites, or job boards, everything lives in one place.

Still a work in progress, but it's been a fun reminder that sometimes the best product ideas appear while you're building.

Built with Next.js, TypeScript, TailwindCSS, Framer Motion, and Supabase.

Here is my submission for the #makeathon FocusDock is a calming focus timer designed for work, study, reading, and deep focus sessions. https://detach-lime-09329627.figma.site/

The idea started from a simple problem: most focus timers are functional, but they don’t feel personal or emotionally engaging. I wanted to create a timer that feels more like a small ritual, choosing your environment, placing your clock, setting the mood, and starting a focused session with intention.

With FocusDock, users can:

Choose a focus duration

Pick from different illustrated desk, shelf, and table backgrounds

Select a clock style

Place the clock naturally inside the scene

Start a clean, distraction-free focus session

Use ambient sounds or music to support concentration

The design direction is soft, calm, and minimal, using 2D illustrated backgrounds with clear surfaces where the clock can sit naturally. The goal is to make the clock feel like an object inside the workspace, not just a floating timer UI.

I’m using Figma’s suite of tools to explore the visual system, generate the interface direction, and build the interactive prototype with Figma Make. A big part of the challenge is making the experience feel polished: smooth transitions, thoughtful placement, responsive layouts, and a focus flow that feels simple but meaningful.

For me, this project is about turning time management into a calmer, more intentional experience. social post: https://x.com/sir_hsn/status/2063623301201858694?s=20
