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.

* Pulls stale deals from HubSpot (configurable pipeline stages)

* Researches each prospect by aggregating context from multiple sources: HubSpot contact/deal/account data, internal Slack discussions about the prospect, Fireflies call transcripts, and recent company news via web search

* Uses Claude to generate personalized follow-u
