#Maker Week

Toni Gemayel’s project intended to help Figmates create their profiles in the Community.

The indispensable project brought to us by Toni Gemayel and Georgia Lee.

Now I most definitely want one! See also this cool keycap.

A widget that lets you play a Flappy Bird-like game right inside FigJam. Love the Flippy!

Cool FigJam widgets made by Bersabel Tadesse and Noah Levin. Hope they’ll be published one day!

The New York Times Crossword from 2/20/2012, playable as a Figma prototype through its Interactive Components feature.

A peek behind the scenes of how Noah Levin created the first take on design system analytics (now available on Orgs plan) during one of the past Maker Weeks.

The theme of this Maker Week is Figmaverse, and Anthony DiSpezio created beautiful branding and design system. To the moon!

This is ridiculous, and I absolutely love it! A game plugin built by one of the Figma engineers during their annual Maker Week. Play and create race courses to compete with your friends.

“Twice a year, Figmates are invited to pause day-to-day work and come together for a week of innovation and connection. Our take on a cross-functional hackathon, Maker Week is an opportunity to take a step back and live our values—thinking big and bold ideas, connecting with one another, and putting our individual stamps on the business, community, and culture we’re collectively building.”

Dylan Field introduces four “houses” on Day 1 of Figma’s biannual Maker Week.

A fun team exercise to express themselves.

Another Maker Week project — a plugin to play Asteroids with friends.

Sawyer Hood made a plugin that runs a Gameboy emulator inside of Figma and renders the output as vectors to the canvas. Not available in the community yet, but the source is already on GitHub.

Alex built a plugin concept to automatically generate missing variants and add labels.

Toni Gemayel runs an open design experiment to collaboratively create 100 patterns.

Seems like the Haus of Jorts has won this competition!

“Twice a year, we set aside a week for everyone at the company to explore a project outside of their daily responsibilities. Unlike hackathons — which are largely built for engineering and design — Maker Week is for everyone, across teams and skillsets.”

Noah Levin built his first plugin for turning URLs into little cards. Great for organizing shopping inspiration and visually including relevant links to the project. Now waiting for their API to support links.

Impressive demo by Thomas Wright.
