Teaching people how to code over the internet is even hard. You need to combine up to four different platforms to :
Chat
Share codes
review projects
Share screen
Voice chat
Live code
Earn
Citonhub.com solves this platform for developers by combining all the features they need to teach, mentor, and earn in one place. Here is why we built citonhub.
In May 2020, we wanted to teach a group of eager newbies how to code for a fee. We looked for a platform that could help us teach effectively, but we noticed we had to combine up to four different platforms to achieve our training objectives. We would teach on Slack, share screen and voice chat on Google meet, receive payments by sending our account numbers, and finally host projects on netlify or Repl.it. This was time-wasting and inefficient so we went ahead to build a platform with all the features needed for effective mentoring in one place.
Citonhub offers developers the flexibility and privacy to interact, making it the first platform that offers the convenience of two-way communication while being able to share and run codes. With this, newbies can effectively get mentored and become experienced developers.
Key Features of Citonhub
1.) Chat
The chat tab is where mentoring happens. Here you can :
communicate through text
Communicate through voice by starting a voice chat session.
Share your screen
Live code (here you type in your code editor and your students see your texts in real-time.
An in-built code-box that allows you to share and run up to 25 programming languages.
Sub-channels- Just like you have it in slack and Discord, Citonhub offers you the ability to organize your community by creating sub-channels. This gives you the ability to separate content that can be revisited.
2.) Challenges
Challenges are a great way for mentees to try out projects with others to improve their skills. You can also add a channel to a challenge so that participants can get together to talk and exchange ideas.
3.) Showcase The showcase tab offers exposure to projects on Citonhub. When you share your project, the community will be able to give comments and reviews.
4.) Projects
The project feature on citonhub is built for collaboration between mentors and mentees. When a mentee writes a project, she can add her mentor as a contributor to review or edit her codes. The project panel can host simple to intermediate projects for now, but efforts are being made to make it host advanced projects.
5.) Wallet: You can monetize by enabling any of the three earning models in your channels.
Donations: Your audience or members can donate any amount of money to support you or for the progress of the community.
Subscription-based: When you activate a monthly subscription model, people can only have access to your sub-channels after paying.
One-time payment: This is perfect for activities that require one-time payment and gaining lifetime access. An example could be when you are organizing a boot camp for a fee. Members pay once and have access forever.
All your donations, subscriptions, and one-time payments will be deposited in your wallet and you will be able to payout into your bank.
