Building the BRIKT Library

When I started BRIKT, I had an idea.

A big one. A meaningful one. But still… just an idea.

Over the past few days, I’ve been building out the BRIKT library. What began as a blank page has slowly turned into a growing collection of LEGO® sets, each one carefully added with its own details, sponsors, and a connection to a chosen charity.

What I love most is that it isn’t finished.

It’s evolving.

Every new set we add creates another opportunity.

Another moment for someone to sit down, build, and switch off from everything else.

Another way to support local charities through something simple, creative, and accessible.

Seeing it all come together, both visually and technically, has been incredibly rewarding. It’s one thing to have an idea, but it’s something else entirely to watch it take shape and become something real.

And along the way, I rediscovered something I didn’t expect…

I’ve fallen back in love with writing PHP and CSS.

There’s something so satisfying about starting with nothing and gradually building something structured, something functional, and something that genuinely serves a purpose.

For a long time, I’ve been focused on creating websites for others.

This feels different.

This feels like building something that matters to me.

BRIKT isn’t just about LEGO®.

It’s about creating space, connection, and something positive for the community.

And now, for the first time, it’s starting to feel real.

And this is only the beginning.
