You think glassdoor wants to be fair to both parties when one party (business) pays them in order to help exploit the other party (employee)?
Maybe it sounds cynical, but that is the business model.

Another aspect of it is to refer/resell self-hosting for users to completely own their own data (such as Bunny CDN which has very wallet-friendly prepaid schemes and a referral program) so they don't have to worry about what the service owner does. It would then be a kind of decentralized network of mini Glassdoors about the workers current or past employers, where one worker would spin it up and their peers can use. Each would decide what to leave public-facing and private-facing for the workers, and could even monetize for the workers via selling their data as Glassdoor does for things like market comp survey data so that workers could privately share comp data amongst each other and publicly sell access to extra anonymized summaries of that data.
This would be tied together into a user friendly iOS/macOS app to manage the deployment of the site. How does that sound?
Why? Providing a web client would drastically expand your potential customer-base.
It's also potentially linux-runnable (the management tools) with a native apple frontend, then later can explore bringing to win/web
I've been moving more of my iOS app core biz logic to JS and exploring cross plat Swift for running more across web and windows, while still leaning hard into the nice parts of Apple ecosystem, so that whatever solution I find for this is easier
We're also doing an app using https://github.com/live-codes/livecodes to move a lot more languages/envs capability into the client which might enable some good web and ios cross plat capabilities.
Anyway besides the platform question, interested in any other feedback from anyone
