Hi talented bunch! Curious if Figma Make can turn designers into SaaS founders? We built Karyalist to find out. And surprisingly, you can validate your next idea that is Speedrun / YC ready with Make Karyalist is a gateway to intro the next pre-fund ideas. Our pilot is the Southeast Asia region (Singapore, etc.) with a digital economy projected to be $330B this year
Timing is great, the goal is to test if it could power an end-to-end SaaS—auth, gated content, backend, etc. in the duration of the hack. And MVP is live! 
Key takeaways: Make gives designers the core building blocks to launch fast. Design it, Build it, then Sell it. Follow us on X for updates. Figma team - if you want candid feedback, let’s talk (we got notes) Team: Designer: design, prompt, debug (me!) Engineer: moral support

our admin backend made on Make: https://karyalist.figma.site/?admin=true
our original Design and Site File: *we've had our v1 design ready at that point in time when the hack was announced (desktop compatible visuals. Make helped us with the best mobile responsiveness expectation after)
