Backyard Gems is an app to get people to explore their communities and protect their local "gems".
Started in Figma Weave, went to Figma Make, back to Figma Weave, then back to Figma Make, then to Figma Design the back to Figma Weave. Also would copy chats/prompts from each product to use in another product during my workflow.
Why all that? Mainly the visuals lol. I thought generating a brand system then using that in Figma Make would make things easier, but there was still needed adjustments. And there was alot of adjustments and generations to get some visuals and videos that I liked/could tolerate.
Also saw a question on another submission about if a video was made in Figma Weave, and I thought, why not as I was concerned about how to best portray the aim of the app that I couldn't do with just a screen recording. So copied app design from Make, plopped into Design, so I could port it into Weave.
The best thing to do is see the app for yourself here: https://listen-stuck-71113393.figma.site/

I am glad someone else is also excited by this concept!
Thank you Monic!😊

Kombucha Y2K – Interactive Flavor Experience with a walkthrough video

Figma X contra challenge
Kombucha Y2K is a bold, interactive product experience that showcases a new generation of kombucha through a high-energy digital interface. Built with a striking neon aesthetic, the app blends product discovery, brand storytelling, and exploration into one immersive platform.
Users can browse unique flavors like Neon Lime Surge, view detailed product information, and explore ingredients, energy levels, and nutritional highlights in a visually engaging way. Each product is presented with a futuristic, electric style that reflects the brand’s identity.
Beyond shopping, the app introduces a strong brand narrative through its manifesto—positioning Kombucha Y2K as more than just a drink, but a movement focused on energy, flavor, and individuality.
With interactive sections like product exploration, lab-style discovery, and location features, the experience feels dynamic and modern rather than static.
Kombucha Y2K is designed for a new generation of consumers who want bold flavors, strong identity, and an engaging digital experience—all in one place.
I didn’t want to make something normal.
Everything I see online feels the same—clean, safe, predictable. So I decided to build something that actually feels different… something with energy.
I started with a simple idea: what if a drink brand felt alive? Not just a product, but an experience. Something bold, electric, almost futuristic.
So I designed Kombucha Y2K.
I played with neon colors, sharp contrasts, and a dark interface to give it that high-energy vibe. Every screen, every detail—it’s meant to feel intense, like you’re not just looking at a product, but stepping into a world.
This wasn’t just about design. It was about creating a feeling.
Something loud. Something different. Something that stands out.
And honestly… this is just the beginning.
Some walking through video
For this contra Makeathon, I wanted to merge creative tech . So I designed and built a tool where you can pick any MP4 or WebM from your device, and it plays directly in your browser as live, colored ASCII.

This is COOL!
I didn't set out to build another educational app.
I started with a simple question:
How can screen time become more meaningful for children and their families?
That question led me to create WonderTrail.
WonderTrail is an educational adventure designed for children aged 6–10, where reading, math, science, creativity and storytelling become part of one magical journey.
Children explore new worlds, complete challenges, unlock achievements and build confidence through learning.
But WonderTrail isn't just for children.
Parents are part of the adventure too.
A bedtime story becomes a shared moment.
A completed level becomes a celebration.
A badge becomes a parent saying, "I'm proud of you."
In a world where technology often competes for attention, I wanted to explore how it could strengthen learning, curiosity and family connection instead.
WonderTrail transforms screen time into meaningful learning, meaningful achievement and meaningful family moments.
Built with Figma Make for the Config Makeathon.

Just explored WonderTrail with my child and I'm impressed.
Most apps compete for attention.
This one encourages curiosity, learning and shared family moments.
The mix of stories, math, science and creativity is really well done.
Excited to see where this project goes.
