Description

Hi HN,I am a CTO/Founder usually stuck in "development hell" on long-term projects. To fix my perfectionism, I started a challenge on Jan 1st: Ship 12 startups in 12 months.This is Project #01: TierWise.The Problem: Most SaaS founders price for the US/EU market. Charging a flat $49/mo excludes huge segments of users in LATAM, India, or Southeast Asia where purchasing power is lower. Building a custom GeoIP/PPP logic for every side project is a distraction.The Solution: I built a drop-in JS widget that detects the visitor's country and calculates a discount based on their local Purchasing Power Parity (PPP).The Stack (The "Speed Run" setup):Backend: Laravel 11 (API).Frontend: Nuxt 3 (SSR).Logic: Custom Middleware + Redis (for request throttling) + MaxMind GeoIP.Design: Soft Brutalism (trying to avoid the generic "AI dark mode" look).Business Model: It’s an open SaaS.Free: 500 adjustments/month (no credit card).Paid ($9/mo): Unlimited + White-label.I’d love your feedback on the implementation and the "Soft Brutalism" UI approach.Link: https://tierwise.dev/
