Lemmid

You might wonder how one person can build so many different things, from websites and apps to complex backend systems. The secret is that I don't start from scratch every time. Over the years, I've built my own set of digital building blocks, like a personal box of super-powered Lego. I call this platform Lemmid.

Each block is a small piece of software that does one specific job incredibly well. One block might handle payments, another manages user accounts, and another displays content. Because they are all designed to fit together perfectly, I can combine them in new ways to build new products quickly and reliably. This is how I make sure everything I build is simple, strong, and timeless.

Designing for reusability, flexibility and extensibility

This month I am leveraging platform capabilities to launch a new product. Over the years I have developed the "Lemmid" platform, a set of building blocks that allow me to swiftly develop new products. Designing a platform takes some extra considerations, but if you follow some simple rules you can do it yourself!

For example, the "buy me a coffee" button you might see on some sites is a great example of a single, focused block. I built a small "payment block" that handles the entire process securely. It doesn't need to know what it's being used for; it just does its job perfectly. This small, reusable block is a tiny piece of the Lemmid platform in action.

Monetising my blog with coffee, Apple Pay and Mollie

Online payments are now more important than ever as businesses are disrupted by the COVID-19 virus. It drives my customers to seek new ways to make money online. I designed and implemented a (micro)payment system. This post is about achieving simplicity by solving complex challenges.

This way of working means that when I build your project, it's not a one-off experiment. It's built on a solid, proven foundation that is ready for whatever the future holds.
