Ask HN: Is there an app for live screensharing help from expert developers?
StackOverflow is great, but there are critical times such as a production server crash that you want to have an expert actually screenshare with you and guide you through solving the problem. I'm wondering if there exist any platforms (free or paid) for getting this type of assistance.
The only thing I've seen of this type so far is http://codementor.io, but they are currently in beta. Posts like this make me think there's something that others know that I don't. #1 - "I have a new {website, product, service} but I don't feel comfortable telling people about it." #2 - "Want to know a secret? A good idea is to let me go on HN, ask a question related to your product, and then you come in and be the hero by telling people your x solves their problem. I'm not saying OP is doing this but it is done here, and more and more often. The more basic the question, the fishier it is... Asked on #startups as well and discovered two more from them: Google Helpouts and Airpair.
