Original caption

10 years of my life lives in paper journals. One mistake away from being gone forever. So I used @figma Make to build a website that immortalizes them. AI-powered design, easy prompts, full control. took me less than an hour to go from idea → working site with frontend + backend. What would YOU build with Figma Make?
