BrickVIP

This was by far the easiest project I've built in my 20-year career. It's great to work on a project is pretty straight forward. It helps I've been selling LEGO for years myself so I know what tools my customers really need.

There is so much data about LEGO out there. It's lots of fun to connect all API's and come up with new tools that nobody has thought of. The data sets are so big that it sometimes is a challenge to work with them.

When I started I created a pretty strict list of features for the MVP version. Proud to say that today I've finished everything.

Next Wednesday I will invite the first beta testers. Really excited to hear they're experiences. Of course I've had some conversations with a few of them past couple of weeks, but this is the real deal. Make or break :)

I've been selling LEGO as a side business for almost 10 years. As a developer I've created a lot of tools to make my life easier and save time on some of the more boring parts of the LEGO selling business.

At a LEGO convention I showed some of my tools to another seller. He was immediately interested and said he was willing to pay a monthly subscription to use the tools as well.

Later at home I found out there are over 15.000 LEGO sellers world wide. A big enough niche to build some tool for. Since I'm a LEGO seller myself I know by experience what tools can benefit others as well.
