First I wanted to say that everyone in the dev.to community has been super welcoming and friendly. Nice to know there are still people out there.</p> <p>The reason for this post. I started a site that is a network for developers to seek &amp; give advice over video chat. </p> <p><a href="https://p-pl.com">https://p-pl.com</a> is the site</p> <p>For instance, if you are an expert in React.js, you can have other people connect with you. You as an expert can also bill for your time. (Hourly rate)</p> <p>Or if you're seeking advice, you can search for and request to connect with other users that are online at that given moment. If they accept the call, you are immediately brought to the video chat portal to hash out your code issues or anything else.</p> <p>Once the interaction ends, each user can rate eachother based on professionality, expertise etc. Think of it almost like an uber for information.</p> <p>You as a user are ranked higher in the results based on your reviews as well as the meta data your provide in your profile.</p> <p>This was a 2 1/2 year project and I just want it in the right hands. I will be posting tutorials later on how to use the site, core features etc.</p> <p>What I'm looking to do is build the network full of JavaScript developers so that the community is rich with support in this language. Eventually then to move on to other languages.</p> javascript node react nextjs Thomas Grimes Wed, 20 Oct 2021 23:07:39 +0000 https://forem.com/tgrimeswss/about-me-3gg8 https://forem.com/tgrimeswss/about-me-3gg8 <p>I am a former high school teacher that taught business classes. My passion for app building for my students led me into coding. </p> <p>I also used to run a small business manfacturing surfboards out of a garage. That's the pic you see on this thread.</p> <p>Right now, Im looking for JavaScript developers who are also good instructors / good people. I built a network for coaches to provide expertise to other dev's that have bugs or just want to learn.</p> <p>The website is p-pl.com <br> Check it out</p> javascript webdev Thomas Grimes Wed, 20 Oct 2021 22:52:47 +0000 https://forem.com/tgrimeswss/in-need-of-javascript-teachers-1mg8 https://forem.com/tgrimeswss/in-need-of-javascript-teachers-1mg8 <p>I built a coaching network called p-pl.com. The concept we are building is a network of live experts. Basically if you need a bug fix, you can contact another dev right away and have their issue fixed. You can charge for your time by the hour.</p>
