This could be a game changer policy. May opportunities opened up for startups.

Looks like a nice alternative for slack for sure. Task and crossing company space are very interesting features. I used to use confluence + jira to manage a project with a lot of external members. The permission management is terrible. Rock probably would have made my life easier.

Looks pretty nice. Congratulations! But why this is better than other chat apps for WWDC?

Salsa is unique to other work related anonymous app in several ways.
Salsa is an open community -- any user can post messages about any company, not limited to their own employers. Messages can be anything -- thoughts, public news, rumor, or insider gossips. The intention here is to encourage sharing while protecting privacy.
Another interesting feature of Salsa is "Spice Up", which is an enhanced version of "vote up" with geographical information. Now the original poster can see where people in the world cheered for her, and how far the message spread to the world.
Salsa also provides a tool for anonymous salary survey. Besides providing a reference to anybody who are curious about how much her skill set values, I also hope this can capture the huge pay gaps between genders and different geographic areas.
Salsa is still in its early stage. After all, it's my side project from last two months and I'm the only developer/designer. I am really looking forward where the community takes Salsa to.

The main difference is, we try to build an active community where people can openly discuss any career related topics; while Glassdoor is mostly a company review / salary posting site, with no interactions between users. We also try to be more emotional and personal, and capture the small things in your daily life. Which does not exist in Glassdoor.

Salsa is an anonymous community where you can share anything about your job or company. Form big corporations to small startups, it's the perfect place for career related vent, gossip, Q&A or even confess.
Salsa also provides anonymous salary surveys where you can check salaries from similar companies or titles.
