Placeholder.io

Placeholder.io is an online platform specifically designed for software developers to find mentors/mentees.

The goal with placeholder is to provide a place where programmers of all levels, from complete beginners, to more advanced coders who are looking to learn a new technology, can find mentors who are willing to share their experience and knowledge through an ongoing dialogue.

We’ve tried to create an aesthetic and UI which makes it clear that this is a location for developers, and that you’ve come to the right place if you’re looking to meet other programmers.
