Who it's for

Solo founder or 2-person team in Nigeria with basic fullstack skills; target: beauty-conscious consumers in English-speaking African markets (Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana) + diaspora willing to pay in USD.

How to build it

1. Launch a simple quiz (5-7 questions on skin type, concerns, budget) with Typeform or custom form—store responses in Supabase. 2. Build a curated product database: partner with 3-5 affordable beauty suppliers (local or AliExpress dropship brands) or white-label formulations; tag each product by skin type, concern, price tier. 3. Create matching logic: simple rules engine (e.g., 'oily skin + acne' → products tagged [oil-control, acne]) that assigns a personalized 3-4 item bundle each month. 4. Set up subscription billing via Stripe (for diaspora/international) + Paystack (for local NGN payers); deliver via local courier (Send, Jumia, Gokada) or international mail. 5. Email automation (Mailchimp or Brevo): onboarding sequence, pre-shipment notification, reorder prompt, skip/pause options.
