This seems like it could be useful. If I'm not getting answers from stackoverflow or my questions don't really fit within the Q&A framework of other sites then I likely have a very specific problem or concept I am trying to get a handle on.

This doesn't seem to facilitate that kind of specificity. For instance, I have a question about best practices for setting a mobile version of a desktop single page application. As specific questions they vary from, "Should I create a separate mobile site, splitting my codebase?" to, "Should I treat tablets as desktops with touch events?" or, "Can I rely on testing tools and emulators to test a mobile site or should I be testing on actual devices?"

I don't really want to search for people who claim they know css and javascript and then have to go through a vetting process to determine if they can actually help me.

The focus of this version is on coders finding mentors and pairing partners. The USP isn't nailed down but we'll make this clearer on the landing page.
