I wrote a small application a while back to allow a team to figure out what their average salary was without exposing individual salaries. Seems relevant.

https://are-we-being-underpaid.herokuapp.com/

It generates unique URLS for each participant and stores almost nothing on the server. Only a party that was actively monitoring web traffic has enough information to divine someone's salary. No tracking of emails, salaries, etc.

Very cool. This looks like a solid answer to a simple question that many people would like answered. Now if only I could think up good side projects like this to do. : )


This is a great idea. I wish I had known about it years ago!


This is great! Thanks for caring so much about privacy.
