Introducing Dotme: Support Your Favorite Creators with DOT

Hey everyone! :waving_hand:

I’m Abinash, and over the past week, I’ve been learning a new web framework — SvelteKit. To practice what I learned, I decided to build something fun and useful for the Polkadot community.

Say hello to Dotme :tada:


:light_bulb: What is Dotme?

Dotme is a simple tipping platform where you can support your favourite creators by sending them tips in DOT — no sign-ups, no friction.

Think of it as Buy Me a Coffee or Patreon, but powered by Polkadot.

:rocket: How It Works

Creating your Dotme page is super easy:

  1. Fill out a short form — just your name, username, a short bio, and connect your wallet.
  2. Generate your page — one click and you’re done!

No email. No phone number. Just your wallet address and you’re live.


:warning: A Few Things to Keep in Mind

  • Your username must be unique — it’s how your page will be identified. Click the “Check” button to confirm availability.
  • You can only create one Dotme page per wallet address.

Once generated, you’ll get a preview of your page — this is what your supporters will see.

They’ll be able to:

  • Click on any predefined amount to instantly send a tip,
  • Or copy your wallet address and send a custom amount of DOT.

At the bottom your Dotme page url is there, jsut copy it and share it on your social media.


:receipt: Final Dotme Page Experience

Here’s what your final Dotme page looks like for your supporters:

  1. They can connect their wallet with one click.
  2. Select from predefined tip amounts or copy your address to send a custom amount.
  3. That’s it — support made simple, fast, and 100% on-chain.

After connecting the wallet, they have the option to tip predefined amounts.


:black_heart: Why I Built This

The goal was to keep things simple. No user accounts. No backend headaches. Just a clean, easy way for creators in the Polkadot ecosystem to receive tips and support in DOT.

Thanks for checking it out :raising_hands:

Fantastic work Abinash! I’ll try out :saluting_face:

Do not forget to share your experience, like suggestions, feedback or new features.

Great work, Abinash! Dotme is a clean, simple, and much-needed tool for creators in the Polkadot ecosystem. The no-login setup and ease of use make it very accessible. A solid way to apply your SvelteKit skills to something practical.

I am happy to share that my application, Dotme, hit 5 users in total.

Tiny achievement, but it’s real. :tada::tada:

Nice! Is there a way to change the displayed name in the app once registered (not username)?

For now, you can not change by yourself, but soon there will be the option to do so.
