I'm a big fan of rubber duck debugging, but working strange hours its not always possible to find a person or a rubber duck when you need one.

So I built Remote Duck, now you can rubber duck debug with people 24/7. They won't talk back, but boy are they good listeners!

Still looking for more volunteers, if you'd like to help a developer debug their code just submit (http://remoteduck.com/submit) your video.

It's a great idea if you could actually connect the 2 people. Having another developer to talk thing over with would be great, even if they're not working in the same language.

Would love to do that, figured this would be a good first step to see if there was enough interest in something like this.

If the websites get enough traffic, will expand the offering :)
