Neat! This seems like a really good idea.

I'd recommend focusing on a particular niche of developers who all gather in one place, and who have a strong interest in learning more and watching others code. Game developers would spring to mind but I'm sure there are other even better groups for what you intend.

Then, if you can persuade one or two of the stars of that community to use your platform, you should get a decent amount of starting traction.

Looking forward to seeing how you get on!

Thanks for the encouragement. One of the first places I actually went with my idea was /r/gamedev (https://www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/comments/2ekkeg/im_thinking...) where I got some really useful feedback. The feedback helped me tweak the features I'd listed and understand some of the problems faced which I want to tackle.

I think that's a great idea, and launching it at a hack-a-thon might be a simple way for people to all do it together and share it with the rest of the world.

My problem is that I work on private code bases. I can't stream it because it would expose sensitive info. Otherwise, I would like to.

Good luck building something. I am curios where your initiative will end. Once I saw the title I had a feeling it should be inspired by Notch's stream, which was recently on HN. You also registered your domain about 3 weeks ago.

Thanks for the good luck message. Yup it's certainly all very new right now. I'm having to learn quickly but it's something I'm passionate about and it's been nothing but fun so far.

I'd love to see how this goes. :D

Sent you an email. This could be a lot of fun.
