I just published a small public repo around something I’ve been working on for a while.
The idea is simple:
Take one salary and make outcomes comparable across countries.
What I kept running into:
Gross salary comparisons are misleading.
Taxes, rent, and everyday costs completely change the picture.
So I built a small API that normalizes this and returns consistent outputs.
This repo is intentionally minimal:
- plain HTML + JS (no framework)
- simple payroll calculation
- basic cross-country comparison
- direct API calls
The goal wasn’t to build a polished product here,
but to show the smallest possible integration.
Example outcome:
€60k in Germany vs Austria → noticeable monthly difference
Repo:

Curious:
What would you build on top of something like this?
