Looks like I found the project you were talking about?
First impressions are solid, your header section is on point. On the new request page, where you ask the devs to tag languages I would also mention to add a comma to add multiple ones (as you seem to have that functionality). Nice implementation of the "How it works" section. Overall cool and good luck!
Thanks for taking a look and I truly appreciate the feedback @phoenix!! This is one of the threads I was referring to and I didn't even see someone else weighed in too so thanks for bumping this in my notifications.
I'm actually working on a new version of the homepage b/c I'm still not sure if I should make the user decide what page I should show them. I basically want a landing page for people who need help, and a landing page for people who want to help.
Right now the main homepage is tailored to people who need help, but I was thinking of replacing it with a page that basically asks the visitor if they are a dev that needs help, or a dev that wants to get paid to help, and route them accordingly to the appropriate landing page. Do you think that's necessary?
Oh okay I get it. Well that's two completely different sets of people altogether. Whether you want to emphasize on the learner or the teacher is a very subjective decision of yours. Maybe a 50:50 ratio of screenspace to begin with and alpha test it and make gradual changes based on conversion rates down the road.
The page you linked is well done, as a visitor it gives me the all the info I need. delivered twice-weekly to your inbox. could be phrased delivered to your inbox twice a week. but that's your choice as both make sense.
the image at the top is really cool. it's clear that the desk-man is learning from someone else virtually. but im not sure if it's prerecorded or live. also, what does a tutorial entail? is it more of an architecture / design review? or is it low level and language dependent? in terms of my own project, i see this and i think "this isn't for me, this is for someone who barely knows how to code at all, whereas i am definitely more intermediate" however there are still things i could use help with -- though i'd prefer to have an open discussion and bounce ideas and get just expert advice rather than a prescriptive "do it this my way"
I needed to hear this so bad. It slipped past me 19 days ago idk how, but thank you for the input and perspective.
Right off the bat though if you're looking for that open discussion/bounce ideas off expert advice then check out codementor.io. I can't vouch for it personally as I haven't used it, but I learned about them as I was researching the landscape and it sounds exactly like what you're looking for.
I definitely have some ideas to add more clarity to what exactly I'm offering, most importantly an example or 2 I think will go a long way.
Funnily enough, I built this for intermediate to advanced developers because most tutorial content today caters to beginners. My last project I had spent 2 weeks figuring out how to turn a stream of raw audio I had coming in from a 3rd party service into a wav file I could play live on the front end. 2 fucking weeks, and the whole time I was just like, "fuck, I wish there was a tutorial I could just copy and paste this shit and move on with my life." So I added "tutorial code request service" to my list of future ideas.

Secondly, this is the recent landing page I was gonna ask for your 2 cents on that is focused on devs that want to help: https://featurecoach.com/remote-gigs-newsletter
