This is my first sideproject using a serverless architecture, would love to hear any feedback you might have. Thanks!

What libraries did you use to make your site server less? Any gotchas during development that were noteworthy?

Nothing noteworthy, aws lambda and api gateway with dynamodb to handle the submissions. Cloudfront/s3 for the static content. The only tooling i used was kappa which is a very lightweight deployment wrapper for lambda.

> I put together this site after not being able to find a simple place to look at salaries alongside of company reviews. Maybe your key word is "simple", but the standard place to look these things up is Glassdoor.

Glassdoor could do with some competition, reviews hidden behind login is annoying, and the top review always seems to be astroturfing.

There review system is also quite harsh. If they consider you review "unbalanced" they reject it without much explanation.

Yeah honestly i find the experience of going to glassdoor and entering or retrieving info actively hostile to the end user as far as ui and interface is concerned.

Please please please get rid of the emoji.

I like the emoji makes it fun. There just isn't enough emotions. Intense happiness, anger, boredom etc but nothing less extreme.

I took this screenshot on my android phone. Personally I think this looks obnoxious and confusing, but maybe I'm just old https://imgur.com/RFyBthX

I'm late 30s so emoji love could be the midlife crisis.

Thanks for sharing your website. I think the idea is great-- a simple place to share just the basics about your job. Good luck with it, I'll be sure to keep it bookmarked :)
