Re:Show HN: my weekend project, Helplin. Instant Hotline. by anilv on Sunday November 13, 2011 @10:20AM (#3230896)
I was checking out Twilio and wanted to do a weekend project. So I built helplin.com

It basically connects a person who needs help with a person who can help on a particular topic. So people that want help with setting up something, programming questions, etc. can get a one-on-one walkthrough from someone who wants to help.

I already have a way for users that want to help to charge a certain amount per call. But, the process for paying and receiving money was too many steps. Still looking for a good merchant payment API.

So try it out and let me know what you guys think?

I like it. I think you answered my call. Looks like the changes are real time, what did you use for it?
