There's several services with money per hour/mins rates and we don't want money involved.

We want to help novice coders get advice from experienced people instead of what happens to most people - getting worn down and confused by an overwhelming amount of information. We want it to be free because money shouldn't stop you from learning. Maybe it's too idealistic but we're going to try.

Interesting idea. We brand new and were not expecting the several hundred signups. Right now we're 1:2(students:mentors) with signups.

We won't be selling leads. We'd like to feature mentors on the site as a way to thank them for offering their time for free - it's optional upon sign up.

Plans are to pair students up with mentors/teachers for one 30mins slots per week for free. We're hoping to extend it to 1 x 60mins or 2 x 30mins slots. We like to make enough to pay the bills and help students learn to write quality code.

You'll be able to do both in 48hrs. Email me your address at info@askadev.com and I'll add you as a teacher and student.
ab_thomas··on Show HN: Video answers to coding problems
Hi there. We’ve built this online service, Askadev.com, its in beta at the moment. Please take a look and provide feedback. Askadev helps people who have a problem with their code. They can record a video question, and post it to the site. Other developers can access a copy of their code, and then post a video response of them fixing the problem. There are lots of new updates to come, we built this as a side project over 3 weeks so excuse us if it is a bit ‘rough and ready!’.
