Myself and Arjun Attam have been working on a prototype that's built on top of Live Share, and would enable developers to dynamically discover and seek assistance from each other, based on their shared interests and existing communities (e.g. online forums, classrooms, hack-a-thons). In general, we're passionate about lowering the barrier of entry for getting real-time help (e.g. you're stumped on a bug, you'd like to get a sanity check on some code), and this is an exploration to address that.

Instead of me trying to explain it, the following video provides a basic overview of the experience we're trying to provide. If this seems even remotely interesting, I'd love to hear your thoughts and whether it could fit into any of your existing workflows/communities 👍
