As someone who’s won a few Contra hackathons, I love seeing what comes out of these. 🎖️🏆
The level this year at the Figma Makeathon? Insane. People are really pushing what’s possible not just visually, but conceptually.
Here are some of the winners:
Best Overall: “Common Thread” by @Charlota Blunárová → https://figma.bot/476bnit
Excellence in Craft: “TOKYO” by @Kiel Cole → https://figma.bot/479fyKm
New Interaction: “Pucker” by @Aleyna Çatak → https://figma.bot/417D3jl

Reimagining Iconic Interactions: “Duet Booth” by @Paige Latimer → https://figma.bot/4bpSesV
Fan Favorite on Social: “Reframe It” by Dann Petty → https://figma.bot/4lzmkyJ
Honestly, this is the kind of work that raises the bar for everyone.

Figma Makeathon challenge ended more than a week ago but browsing all the cool entries, I found Dann Petty's Reframe which reminded me of a similar tool I tried to vibe code last year. I kind of like to add browser-looking frames around some of my designs and this is something that takes time and I don't really enjoy but at the same time it's always needed for cover images, projects, portfolios and so on.
I used the remaining days from Figma Make and made it.
Upload a screenshot, choose color shades for the browser frame and download your new image. Oh, and you can choose to have a shadow or not.
Here's the link, come try it and let me know if you found any problems: https://salmon-poodle-75400394.figma.site
Figma just dropped Slots, and this is a semi-big deal.
If you've ever detached a component just to customise it, you know the pain. Lost link to the main component. No upstream updates. Design system slowly fractures.
Slots fixes this. Flexible zones inside components where you can add, remove, and rearrange content without detaching.
It means less components inside components inside components inside components...
→ Cards and modals with varying content
→ Nav menus with different item counts
→ Anything you've been creating 15 variants for
This also mirrors how components actually work in code. Engineers build with slots natively. Designers have been faking it. That gap just got smaller.
Rolling out in open beta now.
Slots is such a game-changer! No more painful detaches just to swap content. Design systems are about to get so much cleaner.
