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!

Impressive

What did I try to do with the extra 5,000 credits? Make the maps in the map more functional prototypes. Of course I was hoping for smooth sailing, and it in fact was not smooth sailing.

But you can at least click and move around on the app pages at least. The user personal map now allows for street view, and includes pictures taken by the user along with sharing the user history with each gem location. So yeah, would need more credits to make it as pretty as it was supposed to be in my head lol.

Already had some duplicate my app model before the update so hopefully that shows I am moving in a solid direction.

I just have to hone in on using specific words, exact descriptions of what I want, and more image asset examples especially when I do not have many assets to build kits with along with not using a MCP.

Street view on a personal map — that's a solid upgrade even without smooth sailing! Credits well spent.
