🥭 FruitHunter: A fun way to 'touch grass' (or fruit!)
I built this interactive game to get people to actually look at the weird and wonderful fruits we see around whether you're at home in the tropics (like myself), on holiday, or - why not - just wandering through your supermarket.

Live, working app: Try FruitHunter AR
The Idea: FruitHunter is basically an excuse to "touch grass" - or in this case, touch a Rambutan. It can turn a boring grocery run into a bit of a scavenger hunt. With some personalization I think this would be a fun game for small ecohotels, botanical gardens, cafés with a garden,... to offer to their guests too!
The Vibe: 8-bit nostalgia meets fresh fruit
It’s got a retro console vibe. On desktop, it sits inside a little phone frame - the best way to play this is of course on your phone as it uses your actual camera!
The "Fruitydex": There’s a definite wink to the original Pokédex here. You’ve got your own "Fruitydex" to track your collection, complete with those classic 8-bit silhouettes for the ones you’re still hunting for.
The Experience: You open the map, see where the "hidden" fruits might be (right the map is a mock-up but a botanical garden could easily add real fruit locations to a map) and then use the camera to scan them. If it’s a match, you catch the fruit and level up, e.g.:
Level 1: Novice Hunter: You start off just learning to spot the basics: common stuff like Mangos and Papayas.
Level 2: Exotic Tracker: Once you’ve caught a few, your tracker gets an upgrade to sense "Rare" species & you can catch more special fruits like cacao & durian.
Until you reach level 5: Fruit Hunter Queen (Mangosteen): The ultimate goal.
How I built it (The "Figma Fruit Salad" workflow)
This was a fun process of jumping between different tools to get it just right:
Figma Weave: I started here to design the actual fruit assets. We got a generous amount of credits so I could tweak my prompts when needed. The assets created in Weave turned out to be very important as Make by itself doesn't create such intricate images (neither does Antigravity, for that matter), so the little bit of extra work up front can make all the difference!
Figma Make: I moved those designs over to Figma Make to start thinking about the app structure. I prompted to create the fruity splash screen & to create an advanced level (I actually started designing level 12 first - but then reduced to 5 real levels) & an achievement screen.
Figma Design: Once I liked the screens we created, I copied everything into Figma Design. This was the "glue" that let me use the Figma MCP in Antigravity, as the Figma MCP was unable to work with the Figma Make link I had. This would be a nice feature to add to Figma Make!
Antigravity: This is where the actual coding happened & where I added more levels to the game. It handled all the reasoning for me. Being able to import the designs via the Figma MCP server made it very easy to create the different achievement screens & levels.
Powered by Gemini 2.5 for the fruit scanning to make it a working app!
Thanks for watching & happy fruit hunting!

Little Voices is a keepsake of your kid's voice. It's for the silly, fleeting, unrepeatable bits, before they grow out of them. https://littlevoices.figma.site
I have thousands of photos and videos of my daughter, but barely any recordings of her voice. Voice memos get buried in a list, and I hardly go back to them. As she grows up , she’s changing faster than I can hold on to her.
So I built Little Voices for the Config Makeathon, but maybe more so for myself, and other parents who might feel the same way.
I've been using it with my daughter, and she loves hearing her own voice. She keeps becoming someone new, and now I get to hear every version of her, whenever I want.
What it does:
🎤 Catch a moment in seconds
📚 Each memory becomes a storybook card, marked by the age your kid was when you caught it
🗂️ Sift through the pile, browse by age like a time capsule, or search by keywords
💭 Prompts to help when you draw a blank
📈 See how often you record, gently — no streaks, no guilt
🧒 A separate collection for each kid
How I built it:
🎨 Figma Weave for the card art. I built a repeatable workflow that generated dozens of cards in a consistent style, instead of prompting one at a time.
✨ Figma Agents for design exploration and a simple design system. Figma-native agents felt like a true design collaborator that understood my context — directly fine-tuning iterated designs was what was missing in my Claude Code / Figma MCP workflows.
🧱 Figma Make to put it all together. The trick: ask it for a plan before executing anything. Reviewing the plan first meant the component came out right the first time, instead of three rebuilds later.
If you have your own version of this in your life, tell me about it in the comments. 🙌
Huge thanks to the Figma support team; I hit a publishing wall on both Sites and Community, and they personally unstuck both for me so I could ship this. This entry couldn't exist without them!

This is a great example of creative problem-solving. The final experience feels very polished.
Hi creatives! 🐻
For #ConfigMakeathon, I built Maa - a free vision & hearing screening for children, hidden inside a game.
Here's the problem: most childhood vision and hearing issues are treatable - but only if caught before age seven. After that, the window quietly closes. Yet screening means a specialist, a cost, a city. So millions of children are never checked in time.
Maa changes that. A child plays five simple games – covering one eye like a pirate, tapping a lion, listening for animals – while their eyes and ears are gently checked. Any device. Three minutes. In their language.
At the end, a clear report: what we noticed and what to ask a doctor. A screening, never a diagnosis - but often, a beginning.
One choice shaped everything: no camera measurement. Because a test must work the same on a cheap device as an expensive one. Every child, screened equally.
Designed with Figma agents, illustrated with Figma AI, and built entirely in Figma Make.
See early. See the future. 🐻

Amazing
I built something for my mom.
We talk every day. But we've never made anything together. Not once.
So I built KINSHIP — a place where two people across any generation gap build a private visual language that only they share.
No typing. No reacting. Just drawing.
You arrive. Type your name. That's the door. A prompt surfaces — "the kitchen table" — and you both draw blind. Neither sees the other's version until both submit.
Then the screen goes dark. Both drawings develop slowly, like photographs in a darkroom. Hers. Mine. Same word. Different worlds.
Over time the archive grows. Every word you've ever drawn together. Your private dialect. Nobody else has this. Nobody else ever could.
We have six words now. And I know her better than years of conversation ever showed me. MAMA LOVED IT.
TRY IT : HERE
This isn't a design tool. It's a correspondence. A private language. Proof that you finally understand each other. It works for parents and kids, mentors and students, grandparents and grandchildren — any two people across a generation gap.
Built in @Figma Make with React, Supabase, and an old notebook aesthetic (cream paper, ink strokes, hand-drawn feel).
KINSHIP — a language only two people speak.
Love the design
