I went looking for something that existed when I first set out, and I didn't come across this - thanks for the pointer.

I hadn't even considered contexts...! Great stuff, thanks - added to the list!

Thanks so much! About the frontend comment - I'd not really heard anything about the actual design, so that's a very welcome piece of feedback - I'll add that to the bugfix list.
I think half the reason I really built this app is because I keep saying on my own Twitter "I want to learn how to do ____ - but I don't know where to start!". When I don't hear anything back, it's a little bit demotivating. I really love the idea of strangers helping strangers with their work and goals too; but I also feel that the questions would be better suited to those who have specified exactly what kind of questions they can answer.
Food for thought, I guess. Thanks so much for your feedback, I really appreciate it :)

I think that the system requires some form of filtering - be it by location, score, hashtag or otherwise. A featured which allows a user to get to the questions they can answer quickly is definitely something that needs to be developed.

This is a great concept - giving each question a score and allowing it to gain/lose exposure based on it, similar to HN/Reddit.

It's official. Version 2.0 demands Vine integration.

It's so strange that you say that - I actually initially coded it with this exact idea in mind! The only reason I pivoted to regex queries was that in its initial stage, I would have no questions to serve up - but I think #screech is subtle enough to be integrated when the userbase is there!
Thanks again for the feedback, I really appreciate it!

Hey John, thanks for your comment. I'm working on the questions at the minute - I agree, it's tricky to filter out what are/aren't questions, so that's something that I'll develop to be a little more sophisticated for a future version.
I suppose the purpose of the app was solely to answer questions, really; I didn't even think about the "asking" side - again, something that I think the app could benefit from in the next version.
Thanks again John, really appreciate your feedback :)
I'm currently on the lookout for (ideally) a funded startup who are tracking down a remote developer to help out with development for their iOS/web app. I'd love to work within a team who are also open to using my video skills in addition to development, too! Open to working in-house, but would prefer to work remotely.
