Hi everyone! 👋
For #ConfigMakeathon, I built Fortune Crumbs 🥠
Lately I've noticed that whenever I'm stuck on something (either for work, life, a random decision) I end up opening an AI Model looking for direction.
The funny thing is that sometimes a simple question turns into a very long conversation. And then sometimes becomes often
That got me thinking: what if... the opposite existed?
Fortune Crumbs is a tiny experience inspired by fortune cookies. You choose a path (Life or Work), type what's on your mind, and crack open a cookie to reveal a fortune.
Not a perfect answer. Not a detailed analysis.
Just a small nudge, a different perspective, or maybe a reminder of something you already knew. Or maybe, just a simple nonsense helping you to move on.
I liked the idea of creating something a little more playful and ephemeral. An experience that lasts a few seconds, gives you something to think about, and then disappears. Something to have fun, validate, annoyed, to be shared, to be kept. And that idea got translated, tested, edited and launch with Figma Make.
Something with little to no expectations but a bit of fun.
In a world where we can ask AI almost anything, it felt fun to build something that responds with just one thought.

If you enjoy it, I'd love to hear what fortune you got ✨
haha I love this
The contrast with how we normally use AI is what makes this land. Everything is optimized for more information, more analysis, more context. Building something that deliberately gives you less and just one thought is a genuinely different design decision. Did the fortunes change how you'd expect people to use it?
I think so. Going in, I assumed people would keep pulling fortunes until they found one they liked. But even after I removed the one-fortune-per-day limit, the interaction still felt different. Instead of searching for the "right" answer, people seemed more willing to engage...

Have you ever gone this bold on a 404? ⚡
Back to our latest poll: y'all voted Black (60%). We shipped Pink anyway.
Our client's call, not ours - and once you see her brand, you'll get why. Feminine-led, bold, unapologetic - Pink was never really up for debate on her end. 💗👠

You nailed the overall mood here. The details just reinforce it nicely.
I still prefer doing creatives manually, not that I'm against AI just my preference. But had some time last night, so experimented with a full AI pipeline for the first time, I know I'm quite late to the party and I prefer it that way. But here's something funny I created 😂⬇️
To think you just started, and it's this Good, the wait and experiment is worth it, this is also not the everyday saturated content
One of my earlier projects was creating an explainer video for MerchantSpring, showing how agencies can consolidate e-commerce analytics, reporting, and AI-driven insights onto a single platform.
Have a product launch coming up? Feel free to DM me.
nice pacing on this one
