There's a trip you keep meaning to take. A person you keep meaning to call. A version of your life you assume you'll get around to — later, when things settle down.
We all do this. We treat time like it's infinite, because the alternative is uncomfortable to look at. "Someday" stretches out in front of us, soft and endless, so we move the things that matter into it. There's no rush. There's always next year.
But almost none of us actually know how much time we're working with. We picture "the rest of my life" as a vague, generous cloud — we've never seen it counted out.
The Rest of My Time counts it out. You enter your birthday and the age you want to reach, and it shows you the time in between — not as a warning, but as a picture of what's still yours, and a prompt to actually plan it.
The design challenge
My first versions were dark, accurate, and awful. Nobody opens an app that makes them feel like sand running out of an hourglass. So the core of the design work wasn't the interface; it was reframing the exact same numbers to point at possibility instead of loss.
Most products fight for your time. This one tries to give it back to you — by making the invisible visible, so you can stop saving your life for later.
I really dig this
Thanks! Have the best life!
Cool idea!

Presenting - Silver Line 🌥️
https://silverlinespace.figma.site
My Config Makeathon Submission!
A helpline for hearts that can't quite see the bright side today.
🌥️ The Problem
We all carry small struggles around with us. A rejection email, a plan that fell through, a rough day at work, a friend who didn't text back. None of them are the end of the world, but they pile up. And on the wrong day, even the little things feel heavy. Most of us weather them alone and in silence, scrolling past everyone else's highlight reel while quietly having a hard time.
There are apps for big crises and apps for vanity metrics, but very little for the everyday, low-grade cloud that just needs a kind word from a stranger.
☀️ The Solution
Silver Line is a communal sky where strangers help strangers spot their silver lining.
Share your cloud. Sign in, step into the sky, and post the little problem weighing you down. Set how heavy it feels, then send it up.
Be someone's silver line. Open any cloud and leave a message of encouragement, a kind word, or a bit of perspective.
Loved someone's comment? Send a ray of sun to show you appreciate it.
Watch clouds turn happy. When you can finally see the bright side, tap "I see the silver lining" and watch your cloud become a happy cloud.
The goal is simple: make every cloud in the sky a happy one!
Because no one should face their problems alone.
Safety rails (community flagging + admin moderation) keep the sky a kind place.
🛠️ The Process & Figma Tools Used
The whole thing was built predominantly in Figma, powered by Figma Make.
Planning: Mapped the idea and concept with an AI agent before touching design.
Figma MCP: Built the entire design system and variables directly in Figma, fast and clean.
Figma Design Agent: Spun up the major screens in minutes.
Figma Weave + Figma Draw: Generated the cloud assets and visuals; Draw was a joy for the finishing touches.
Figma Make: The heart of it. Prompted my vision and watched it come to life, iterating across versions. Used Figma Make's Select Edits for precise manual tweaks (images, text, padding) to save AI credits.
Supabase:Connected for persistence, so clouds, messages, and rays of sun are saved between visits.
A real end-to-end Figma workflow, from design system to a live, interactive product.

Huge thanks to Figma for the makeathon and to Contra for hosting. And to everyone who's ever been the silver line to someone else's cloud you're the reason this exists. 😊🌤️

🛰️ I just shipped Remora for the Figma Config Makeathon "a space debris cleanup game", built entirely in Figma and Figma Make with help of Sites.
PLAY NOW 💯 Remora - Let's Clean our Space 🚀
Right now, more than 27,000 pieces of debris are orbiting Earth. Broken satellites, lost bolts, leftover rocket stages and nobody's cleaning it up. It sounds distant, but it isn't: this debris threatens the satellites our GPS, communications, and weather systems depend on, and could eventually block our access to space entirely.
I named the project Remora; a small fish that swims alongside sharks, cleaning their surroundings. We're the remoras. Space is our ocean.
The Makeathon brief was "design something that improves the world," and I wanted my answer to be playable, not just a poster.
Some of what's under the hood:
🎮 Two game modes: a free-flying drone collector with zero-G physics and a station-based sorting game where you triage incoming debris into recycling shipments
🤖 Three AI-controlled drones compete alongside you on a live leaderboard, each with its own personality and skill level
✨ Particle bursts, thruster trails, and docking animations — built frame-by-frame on canvas, no game engine
🌍 An animated Earth companion that reacts with rotating messages as you play
📡 Satellites cross your flight path on real trajectories — hit one and you lose cargo and hull integrity
🔼 A milestone-based upgrade system (Speed Boost, Cargo+, Magnet Field, Shield) that triggers mid-flight without pausing the game
It won't clean the orbit. But if it makes one more person think about the mess we're leaving up there — it did its job.

Kids don’t defeat fear by reading advice.
They understand it better when they can see it, shape it, shrink it, rename it, and laugh at it.
That’s the idea behind Monster Movie Studio — a cinematic interactive cartoon experience where children turn big fears into funny little animated monsters.
Instead of building another dashboard or basic kids app, I wanted this to feel like a playable cartoon episode.
A child can:
→ create a clay-like 3D monster
→ choose what made the monster feel big
→ drag magical tools onto it
→ direct a tiny cartoon scene
→ shrink the scary shadow
→ turn a roar into music
→ make the monster dance
→ transform it into a tiny helper
→ print a movie poster
→ share a gentle parent note
The whole experience is designed around one principle:
Every action should speak.
Not just buttons.
Not static cards.
Not a form with cute colors.
A tap should change the scene.
A drag should transform the monster.
A completed action should feel cinematic.
A child should feel like they are directing a tiny animated movie.
Built with Figma Make for the Config Makeathon.
Monster Movie Studio — turn big fears into funny little cartoons.
Love how visual this feels. Not a normal app, more like an interactive animated experience.
