Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Premaansh, and I made Ekam (Sanskrit for "one"). It's the project I've poured the most heart into. It's one shared 24×24 canvas. You claim a single tile that becomes truly yours, hand-paint it in a little in-browser studio, and leave a one-line story beneath it. Alone, it's a square. Zoomed out, all 576 become one collective artwork: hundreds of strangers, one picture. I obsessed over the small things because those are what make it feel like a place instead of a form. 🎨 **A proper little painting studio.** Brushes, shapes, fills, custom colours, zoom, undo, even mirror mode. It autosaves as you paint, so you can wander off, switch devices, and come back to the exact brushstroke you left behind. 🎷 **A lofi radio that follows you around.** A dusty-vinyl jazz station hums in the corner while you work. It persists across the entire site without restarting, because painting should feel like a slow Sunday afternoon, not a task list. ✨ **Your tile comes alive.** Hit submit and you'll see "reviewing your tile..." before it resolves into a little burst of confetti as it lands on the wall, usually within a second. Every submission is screened by a vision model so an anonymous public canvas stays welcoming, with human review always available when needed. The tiles people love most quietly earn a golden frame. 🕯️ **The interface stays out of the way.** Warm monochrome tones, editorial typography (Spectral, Inter, and IBM Plex Mono), and a single ember accent. The only real colour on the screen comes from the artists themselves. 🪄 **The finale is my favourite part.** When the canvas closes, the grid dissolves and all 576 tiles settle into one seamless artwork. Empty squares soften into paper so even an unfinished wall feels complete. A credits reel scrolls every artist's name, and anyone who contributed can download the final piece as a 9216×9216 image: something hundreds of people made together that none of them could have created alone. I built Ekam solo for the Figma Config Makeathon. The entire design system and every screen live in a single Figma file generated through the Figma MCP by the same agent that wrote the production app. Figma variables and CSS variables mirror each other 1:1, so design and code never drifted. That ended up being the most unexpectedly fun part of the project. One honest note: claiming a tile requires an email verification code (no account, no password, no spam). It's simply how each square stays one person, one tile. You can explore the entire wall without signing up for anything. It's live for a few more days, and I'd genuinely love your square on the wall 🤍 What would you paint?
