This sounds pretty cool. I do backend development and if I wanted to learn modern web development or functional programming I could see myself potentially using a service like this. (Of course someone saying they would be interested and having a paying customer is very different!)

The pricing seems unsustainably low. If each person spends 1 hour with a mentor per week, it seems like the price would have to be at least 5x more to make any profit given that your mentors are expensive skilled developers.

For "Co-coding Evenings", when you request help, is it through a chat room? Or screen sharing?

You may want to look into https://www.bloc.io. It's more of an online coding bootcamp, but a big part of it is having a personal mentor who can answer your questions.

Just wanted to let you know that the second email-only get in touch form throws an error: an alert "oops, this form hasn't been configured yet."
fixed it. Thank you again, that somehow slipped by me ...
thank you so much, Im onto fixing it.
Nice, always good to provide more avenues for people to enter the field, IMO. Is there a way to apply as a mentor? Or are you pretty set in that department? I can’t find anything to facilitate that at the moment, but on mobile right now.
