The @figma Makeathon has launched on @contra and you have through March 2nd to submit for a chance at a piece of the $100k prize! Here’s my go to approach to having your submission stand out: 1.) Focus first—decide what you’re NOT doing and why. 2.) Don’t overthink the prompts, start small and iterate piece by piece. 3.) Copy designs or just screenshot into Figma Design, make changes, then then use in the next prompt. 4.) Make it unique with something hand crafted—Illustrations or animations. 5.) Show the process—share early and show often to build momentum and live feedback.

@AskWorkspace hey please can I have your help again my issue is still unresolved and has past the time given for resolution

@AskWorkspace Hey! Thank you I’ve sent you a DM!

@_radnolan Hi there Nolan! We over at @AskWorkspace are happy to lend a hand! Can you share via DM your domain name and the issues you're experiencing? We'd like to take a closer look! twitter.com/messages/compo…

@AskWorkspace please can I get some support urgently

Last week, I built a better first time user experience → got my 1st user (my mom 😭) → rebuilt everything anyway. Then started working on redesigning and rebuilding the app that started everything for me: TaskTree

Made squidward follow my cursor using data binding in rive no heavy state machine logic… just passing mouse position straight through. But! State Machine is a bit easier to work with. Just pass a few numbers and you’re blending state animations together.

I think I’m a designer who accidentally became an animator. Rive for product — SVGs, nested components, stacked animations running smooth on mobile. Social videos go QuickTime → Premiere → AE for the zoomies. And lately I’ve been doing full keyframe animation in After Effects.

I took a break, but i'm ready to build apps live again. Which one first?

It was so much fun testing out hundreds of Figma Make projects in the Figma Makeathon. The winners are in and over $100k in prizes are going out! Check out the page on Contra to try out the winning projects! #figmapartner

I built an app to fix my inner voice. After a week of daily affirmations and hearing myself tell me how awesome I am, I feel unstoppable...ish

real builders iterate with intention. they have taste. they test before they ship, not after they regret it. i spent years handing off designs and moving on before they were real. by the time something worked, fixing it felt like failure. the label is the easy part. the process is the whole thing.

If you’re a product designer, empty state mapping is so easy now with the Claude code to Figma MCP workflow.

Every empty state, secondary state, and error state imported into an editable canvas automatically. We don't have to map this stuff out manually anymore. Just ask for it, iterate on it, done. I was initially a bit negative on Paper, but this is a game changing workflow!

Paper is out and it connects Claude directly to your design canvas so you skip the back and forth entirely. Just prompt for a design, get it dropped into an editable canvas. The outputs are pretty impressive out of the box, but the interface isn’t nearly as smooth as Figma and it has no components no tabs wtf??

Using real world app inspo/references is more important than ever. Which is why I use mobbin when I’m building my apps.

If you’re in tech what are you calling yourself these days? Lately, I’m feeling like an indie builder again.

Whatever @paper is injecting in their mcp needs to be studied. Same prompt, two very different outputs
