In response to "If you face difficulty in learning coding, will you pay for help?"
When it comes to payment, it also depends on if it’s a one-time payment or recurring payment. If I make a one-time payment, how much help can I get? Is it limited to the number of questions asked? If I make payment and the individual is unable to resolve my queries adequately, then do I have to make payment for another person to help me? I do believe that with the expertise provided, remuneration is expected. However, as a student who has not learnt code, I feel that the coding help provided is hard to quantify and even harder to stick a value to it.

Both a website and an app that are interconnected, so I can refer to either when needed.

Yes! I have tried this app that tries to teach coding in a fun manner. I also signed up for a coding course subsidised by the government but I decided against going once circuit breaker hit and the classes were shifted online.

In response to "If you face difficulty in learning coding, will you pay for help?"
If I am learning coding through a reputable online learning platform where there are professional tutors/instructors to structure the classes, I would pay for it. This could be both individual or group classes.

In response to "What medium would you wish to receive the help in?"
I feel that the most efficient way would be a 1-to-1 online session with a person who is well-versed in coding. Forums can work too but there are many of such platforms already available online such as github.

No, not really, unless my job depends on it. There is no motivation other than getting paid which would be a big enough reason to pay for such service. Even my own desire to learn coding online comes from the desire to have a change in my career.

I believe that as a person who is completely new to coding, with not much idea of what it entails, definitely I would need a lot of help, and there are many platforms that offer paid services to teach coding through structured courses. Codebud definitely provides the convenience of a one-stop access, however I think the target audience seems to be more of people who know what answers they are seeking and therefore Codebud connects them to the people they would otherwise not have access to. For example, people in certain fields who want to learn more about certain systems in place at their office, or more about troubleshooting softwares. All the best!

I would suggest the go-to forum is be more organized than other readily available forums that you can find online. There could be some sort of "Google calendar" system online where novice coders can post their questions or problems on a certain day and timeslot and professionals who are available to address the questions will accept the request on the system as well. Both of them will proceed to have a 1-to-1 session on the agreed day and timeslot. There may be some sort of reward system to incentivize professionals to be active on the forums.

In response to "What medium would you wish to receive the help in?"
Depending on how difficult the problem is, 1-on-1 help through screen sharing or something along those lines would be great. I mean, most answers can be found with a quick Google on things like Stack Overflow, so it would need to be a really particularly tricky problem and in that case more personalised help would be great

Yes, as a student of computer science, not everything that was taught in class may be clear, which we end up attempting to self-learn them through online resources.

When you present the solution as a “forum”, I associate it with “free” e.g. Stack Overflow, Free Code Camp. If it’s highly personalised solutions, then surely a 1-on-1 arrangement would be more suitable? Especially if a fee is involved. Otherwise, would the solution be posted up for everyone else to see (even without paying for it)? If you’re targeting more hobbyist coders (which is what it seems like), how will you ensure that the fee will be affordable enough while also making it worth the time and effort for the people who wish to help out and make a side income? How do you ensure that the kind of problems people bring up actually require more tailored advice vs. something you can easily Google? (which they might not have known)

It depends. There are many free forums and resources online like stackoverflow where we can find answers from but the questions are often not specific to what I need help with. If I can connect with the more experienced developers at real time and the fees is at an affordable rate (for a student), I will give it a try.

In the form of video and screenshares would be useful as learning coding requires us to see the programmer-in-action. Personally I find YouTube videos to have helped me understand programming concepts when I took Java module in school.

There are already platforms to link programmers together like Stack Overflow, so for me, paying someone to help you solve small issues in your code is not that feasible for me. As for programmes that teaches beginners from the ground-up, I believe that if the content they cover is well-structured and meaningful, why not. At the end of the day, its all about finding a style/method that enhances and helps in your coding journey.

I feel that this solution is intriguing but perhaps it would be good if you guys can classify the CS mentors and professionals into different areas of specialisation, say AI, Data Engineering, Machine Learning so that novice programmers can know who to approach and the transaction is more personalised and specialised.

Understanding the target market (i.e. doing user research) would be useful as I do see how this project could be viable - probably not for the general public but a more targeted group of people. Perhaps consider specifically who might be interested in this service?
For myself and many of my friends who need to do some coding at work but don't have a computer science background, this service would be really useful when we run into problems we don't know how to solve, not sure why our code is not working, want to know how to streamline our code/processes etc and we have exhausted all means of self-help. The problems we need help with are usually related to data science, data analytics, modelling so I think it's worth exploring this area of need.
Video conferencing would be especially helpful - currently there are various online forums to seek help but I think being able to discuss your issue with someone in real-time is much more effective and efficient.
I would use this service if the fee is affordable!
