I've done both, but mostly I use it to speed up the debugging of JS issues.

I'd consider adding a GIF or video of the flow to connect with a dev.

Yea things are always a lot faster when you have someone who can tell you exactly what you don't know.

The main difference with Call a Dev is the lack of friction for the devs who need help, and the devs who need work. You just post your question and if someone can help, you'll get a ping with a link to their S/O profile. If you like what you see, you accept the ping and the call starts.

A video is a good idea, I'm putting one together now.

Good luck!

DevOps is another area you could focus on. A lot of people think it's fun to learn programming, but very few want to learn devops (e.g. why does this work locally, but not on AWS?). People will def pay to solve devops problems quickly (source: I've done it many times).
