"We're just ducks and our workplace is a field" https://www.quackk.work

We realised standups and team meetings are kind of broken. Not in a dramatic way, just in a "we do this every day and somehow still don't know who's available or what anyone's actually working on" kind of way.

So for the Figma Config Makeathon, me and Aman Priyadarshi built Quackk@work 🦆

The idea: what if your whole team existed on a shared farm, and everyone was a duck? you can see where everyone is, what they're working on, and who has bandwidth. Need help? Quackk at that duck. They get notified on the platform and via the Quackk Slack bot. They accept, and now you're both on the project together. You can make announcements, run polls, and for absolutely no productive reason, pick up your coworkers' ducks and terrify them.

Illustrations were drawn in Figma Draw. Figma Make accelerated our wireframing process, Figma MCP connected our favourite AI tools directly into the workflow, and Weavy handled the intro animation. Built within the Figma ecosystem, the project pushed our understanding of what an end-to-end design stack can do.

Work can be serious. Design doesn't have to be.

We oughta make work more fun! Love it.

We're emotional beings. Our tools rarely are.

Emotions can't really be taught. They arrive through lived experience, already packaged with a thousand tiny feelings and nuances we carry without thinking. So what if an interface tapped into that?

Meet Clothesline 🧺, a to-do list with feelings.

Instead of "an urgent, high-priority, do-or-die task," you simply have a bedsheet-sized goal for the year and a sock-sized one for today. One glance and you know exactly how much you're holding.

Create, save, and track your goals right in your browser, the same way you'd hang, dry, and fold your laundry. Close the tab or restart your browser and your line stays exactly how you left it, so nothing ever slips away. The rope sags under the weight you carry, a little bird drops by with daily inspiration, and finished goals get folded away. It even makes a lovely little second-monitor companion to glance at while you sip your coffee and work.

Built end to end in Figma: Design, Weave, MCP, Make, Sites, and Slides. 🧑🏼‍🎨 A small experiment in emotional interface design, software that doesn't just track your goals but feels alive alongside them.

It still amazes me how fast an idea can travel from your head to something real, alive, and in your browser.

Notes for reviewers: the overdue state (storm and rain) normally triggers when a goal passes its due date. To preview it without waiting for real time to pass, add a goal and press 'n' for +1 day, 'm' for +1 month, or 'r' to reset. You'll see the sky turn and the line react, so you can fold fast or change the due date.
