Can you teach me is a slack extension inspired from donut (https://www.donut.com/). A user can have a list of things she would like to learn about. Other users can see the list and see if they can give her a head-start.

Idea:

- A user can have a list of things she would like to know.

- Other users can see them and tag them if they happen to have worked with it in past.

- Every week the app will pair up two people who can teach each other one thing.

- Both of them will meet on a video call for 1 hr. They will try to learn the thing themselves by googling around, but the expert user can help them finding good resources and solving quick doubts.

I love the premise. Best of luck with it.
