Nice idea, but I'd want to e.g. wait a day/week/month and then disclose all salaries and close the pool. After all, salaries added after the pool has been opened are much less private.


I did plan for time-based, self-expiring pools. I'm also thinking of adding an option to get a user-configurable minimum number of participants.

For the sake of simplicity, I left out of this first version. The way it is working now, you can only see the results after adding your own salary.

Call it a MVP, if you will. It might be in the next version if people show enough interest.


A user-configurable minimum would be a great help in convincing my peers to participate.

Do you think you could add a jpeg or two to the front page demonstrating a couple of sample salaries and the information I would see as output?


Don't you think that that may lead to a powerful anchoring effect, skewing the results? I suppose you could put in obviously bogus numbers, but..
