Anonymous salary sharing at whatdotheymake.com.

No accounts, no paywalls, no ad-tech tracking. Submit salary data, browse what others make.

Nuxt 3 on Cloudflare Workers with D1 for storage. Uses an Anthropic-compatible LLM proxy (we use LiteLLM) for content moderation and salary scoring.

npm install
cp .env.example .env
# fill in the three required vars (see .env.example)
npm run dev

Without Cloudflare bindings, data lives in memory.

See .env.example. You need:

• NUXT_LLM_BASE_URL - your LLM proxy endpoint
• NUXT_LLM_AUTOMOD_API_KEY - for content moderation
• NUXT_LLM_SALARY_API_KEY - for salary scoring
• NUXT_LLM_FAILOVER_API_KEY - optional direct Anthropic fallback key if proxy requests fail

Create your local Wrangler config from the template, then create a D1 database and drop its ID into wrangler.toml:

cp wrangler.example.toml wrangler.toml
npx wrangler d1 create whatdotheymake-db

Run migrations, set secrets, deploy:

npm run db:migrate
npx wrangler secret put NUXT_LLM_BASE_URL
npx wrangler secret put NUXT_LLM_AUTOMOD_API_KEY
npx wrangler secret put NUXT_LLM_SALARY_API_KEY
npx wrangler secret put NUXT_LLM_FAILOVER_API_KEY
npm run deploy

No accounts, no sessions, no ad pixels, no analytics scripts. Infrastructure providers may still process technical request data for security/reliability, and text fields are moderated through an Anthropic-compatible API. Submitted salaries can optionally be fuzzed by +/-$1-2k before storage. Edit/delete works via a management code the submitter keeps.

• We will never run ads.
• We will never put salary browsing or salary submission behind a paywall.

• Submission management codes are high-entropy random tokens.
• Tokens are stored hashed (SHA-256) at rest.
• Submission edits are audit logged and visible to the code holder.
