Hi Contra friends,
I’ve noticed something funny about my creative process.
Some of my best ideas don’t come when I’m sitting there trying to solve a design problem. They usually show up when I’m playing with something completely unrelated.
A weird interaction.
A random experiment.
An idea that probably doesn’t make sense yet.
So I started building a little playground website where I can test these ideas:
https://myaplayground.com/
Lately I’ve been doing a lot of vibe coding. It’s been a fun way to turn half-baked ideas into small interactive things and see where they go.
Ironically, a lot of those playful experiments end up helping me solve real design problems later in my work.
If you're curious, wander around and have fun!
Loveeee thissss! 💖
Love it!
I did a similar one earlier. 🤭

Add so much fun and creativity with this project
really great work, Miguel!
Imagine conducting ambient music in mid-air. It's like Minority Report, but instead of solving crimes you’re just gently adjusting your nervous system.
For #FigmaMakeathon I built Airwwave (AR) in #FigmaMake: a fullscreen performance instrument where gestures become live ambient soundscapes. It’s built to feel like conducting, not clicking.
Video is long because it’s a performance piece. I’m still hunting bugs, improving responsiveness, and cross browser performance until deadline.
Try it: https://airwwave.figma.site
Features: 28 ambient loops (hosted on Cloudinary), 12s fade in/out, 7-step LCD onboarding with 0–100% hold bar, 2-hand tracking + skeleton, 28 pads.
Gestures/FX: select + trigger, speed, reverb, octave, lock, stereo width + pan, tremolo/echo motion, filter resonance, volume shaping.
good work
My hardest rodeo, for the grandest prize!
Here's what this entry is all about:
Being someone who spends 75% of my day on the web, I know that the web at times feels “template-ish.”
Maybe in the quest to create the most creative designs, we ended up ignoring the core fundamentals that make innovation feel “creative.”
With this in mind, I tried to assign an interaction to the web’s most commonly used actions and icons. Not only that, I redefined galleries, carousels, endless scrolling, gestures (hold the screen to enter the sphere and double tap to reset), design language, SVGs, and SVG animations.
Here’s a video (sound on) showcasing my vision.
I would love to hear from you and improve the solution to create a 2026-worthy experience.
