Youtube for developers?

Create a youtube-like video platform only to serve developers? Small niche? What do you think?

    I had a similar idea some time ago. I didn't really want to compete with YT and all the course-platforms out there so I thought of serving a specific audience with very specific features.

    It would still be a video-first platform but record all the keystrokes when streaming/recording and show a timeline on the page. Like asciinema or similar. Didn't go anywhere with it tho.

      why not give it a shot? what makes you to drop that idea?

        Time constraints and that I didn't really experience the problem. I thought it would be a cool vitamin. Not a painkiller.

          Sure. If I created that vitamin, would you like to give it a try? :)

    Hmm....But youtube has everything right. There udemy and linkedin as well.
    I learned tons of technologies last year all from these resources and didn't find a need for another platform unless a new platform gives a differentiated service.

      Hmm, it would not be a course-based platform, it's just a community where developers can share their work and life in a vlog format.
