D-7 of Figma Makeathon Submission
My product "workflow" was napkin sketches, random AI tabs, and voice memos I never opened.
Got overwhelmed. Asked Figma Agent to help me make sense of it. It spat out a FigJam prompt. I ran it.
Ended up with 5 phases on a board and finally felt like I knew what I was actually building.
Wild how much clarity one board can give!
love getting to see the behind the scenes!

Try to design it the old school way, and then use AI to build it into a working prototype/product. Will most likely take more time doing what you enjoy (if you enjoy designing), less time back and forth prompting to fix things (and burn credits).
Use any other AI you're paying...
Just starting my Config Makeathon entry, but before I touch a single frame in Figma or begin prompting in Figma Make, I needed to do some research.
I am building CookieDraft, an interactive drawing, planning, and spec tool for cottage cookie makers! This means I've spent way too much time developing a rich description for the flow mechanics of royal icing and how to calculate icing volume using the surface-area-to-volume ratio for each cookie shape.
I cannot be helped, my love for baking and design are comingling. I'm now in deep for the simple love of the game.
Off to find some inspiration! Meaning, I cannot wait to see all those cookie designs on Pinterest.
I can't wait to see this one 🍪
Who else has a back-of-the-napkin idea or a bunch of sticky notes full of sketches and is planning what to build for the Config Makeathon?
