Idea feedback: learn production level implementation in group from a practicing expert..
There are tons of resources online to learn. But, it still takes time to figure out how to implement them in production with best practices.
In order to solve this, I am thinking what if a user can post what they want to implement or learn, others join their topic and experts who have implemented similar solutions in production reach out for helping.
As a group everyone votes who they want to learn from (based on the experts previous experience, reviews etc..) and schedule the session. Expert's cost is shared by the entire group.
Example: A person might know how to set up EC2 instances. But, he/she might not be sure if they are following the best security practices. What if someone from Netflix who is on the AWS infrastructure team can teach and help implement best practices.
Will this be helpful? Respond to this message if you would like to be informed when I launch..
Thanks
I think this would make new founders less successful. The last thing you should worry about at the beginning is implementing the "best practices" of a $100B company.
I really like this idea, and the market (online learning + community building)
I've seen it happen in the past too (i.e. where one person finds someone to mentor them, but it's too expensive so they set up a group).

I would have variable class lengths (i.e. longer classes would allow you to form a bit of a cohort/community aspect during each class and get to know the other participants well.)
Could have minimum # of students required to start a class
Could have a referral for anyone who starts a class or gets other people to join a class.
(they get a discount off the next class that they join)

I think this could be really useful for all sorts of niches/fields (designers, developers, product managers, sales).
It's also useful for anyone who is looking to start a new online class to test new materials, and a really good opportunity for people with large followings to monetize that following a little more while also building more of a community and more content (podcast/newsletter owners).
But we all have different very different problems.
