Show HN: TierWise – PPP pricing widget for SaaS (Built in 7 days)
Hi HN,<p>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.<p>This is Project #01: TierWise.<p>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.<p>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).<p>The Stack (The "Speed Run" setup):<p>Backend: Laravel 11 (API).<p>Frontend: Nuxt 3 (SSR).<p>Logic: Custom Middleware + Redis (for request throttling) + MaxMind GeoIP.<p>Design: Soft Brutalism (trying to avoid the generic "AI dark mode" look).<p>Business Model: It’s an open SaaS.<p>Free: 500 adjustments/month (no credit card).<p>Paid ($9/mo): Unlimited + White-label.<p>I’d love your feedback on the implementation and the "Soft Brutalism" UI approach.<p>Link: <a href="https://tierwise.dev/" rel="nofollow">https://tierwise.dev/</a>
