heh i made something that you might the call the opposite of that: https://yourfairshare.info/

Enter your US employer's name or stock ticker symbol (e.g. Amazon, Apple, JP Morgan Chase) and your compensation to see how your pay compares to company-wide financials. Basically, you can see how much more they could have paid you. Also shows stock buybacks and dividends, so u can see how much more they could have paid you instead of the stock market.

great idea, i changed the browsing to be categories of products, not of stores. the stores still there but this is way better. thanks!

yeah still lots of cleaning up. it's a little like wack-a-mole and i'm hoping users will find stuff and submit it.

Appreciate the feedback and the info. I included REI in the directory (labeled as customer co-op not a worker co-op) but not in the search results but now I realize that's lame. I'm just gonna take them off entirely.

totally. we can badger people to buy from better companies but that seems so tough. better to just make it easier for people to buy from better companies :)

I wanted to buy from worker-owned cooperatives but there was no single place to see what they actually sell. So I scraped the product catalogs from ~60 worker-owned co-op stores and made them searchable.

22,000+ products: coffee, chocolate, clothing, books, home goods, etc. You search, find something, and click through to buy directly from the co-op's store. Nothing goes through me.

There's also a section for finding worker-owned coffee shops, restaurants, and bars by city (110+ listings, mostly US).

Static Next.js site, JSON-backed search. No accounts, no tracking, no ads.

Happy to answer questions about the data or how I identified which businesses are actually worker-owned. Please reach out if you want to add your co-op!
