We’re back with another little glimpse of our Webflow Challenge project! 🥳
@Johannes Specht and I are building something for those moments when you should take a break… but the weather’s bad or time’s just too tight. 📚
This time we’re showing the calendar feature, a simple and mindful way to plan your micro-breaks. You can schedule short sessions into your day and make sure you actually take the time to reset. 🧘🏼♂️
It’s been exciting to see how easily we can bring this to life with Webflow. The flexibility really lets us focus on creating a calm and playful experience.
More soon! 🚀

Farewise – Smart Flight Search & Comparison

Sharing a look at PlanThatTrip, a core part of our travel platform Farewise, designed and developed together with @Johannes Specht (https://contra.com/johannes_specht_vr7hcqrw/work)
It helps groups find trips that fit everyone: no endless chats, no messy spreadsheets.
✨ Create a group session
🗓️ Everyone adds preferences (budget, vibe, dates)
✈️ Our Algorithm finds matching destinations and flights
Built with React, fully serverless on AWS, focused on making group travel planning simple, social, and smart.
Working on this taught us a lot about balancing user experience with algorithmic complexity. Using Figma Make we quickly turned designs into prototypes and production-ready code without losing the creative flow.
What stood out: seeing ideas come to life so smoothly reminded us how much the right tools accelerate collaboration

I have refined my project Timebase for the MagicPath Challenge and recorded a short introduction video to showcase the library.
Timebase is a design library for time tracking and contract management, created to simplify daily routines by combining time tracking, vacation planning, contract insights, and productivity analytics into one modern and consistent system.
I focused on improving the details and presenting a curated set of components, I hope you enjoy the result. ✨
Would a library like this support your workflow?

I took my MagicPath Hackathon submission – Timebase – and built a real example application from it to show what such a component library can enable.
Here’s Clockwise, a time tracking and contract management dashboard that uses the Timebase components as its foundation. From time entries and vacation requests to notifications, analytics, and productivity tracking, everything is stitched together from the reusable system I created in MagicPath.
The goal: demonstrate how a design library like Timebase is not just abstract components, but a toolkit that can directly power real-world products.
This is how it looks when you turn a MagicPath library into a complete application ✨

🚀 Excited to share my personal portfolio philgen.de (http://philgen.de). It’s a space where I highlight my recent projects and give an overview of what I’ve been building over the last years. The focus is on clarity and usability, so people can dive into the projects without distraction.
Working on this site taught me how to present projects in a way that feels both professional and personal. I realized that balancing technical detail with storytelling and curating only the most relevant work makes the strongest impression. That’s also what I love about Contra: it gives a space where projects can be shared in a clean and focused way, and it feels like a natural extension of what I tried to do with my own site.
Curious to hear your feedback – how do you highlight your work?
