Overview

What it is

Social networking for developers, powered by GitHub. Connect through real code collaboration, join communities around your favorite technologies, and build professional relationships that matter.

Intent

I need it when

Discover mentorship opportunities and learn from experienced developers in their field

NextTurn enables users to find mentors or become mentors themselves within specialized developer communities. The platform facilitates knowledge exchange and skill development through real collaboration on projects, allowing developers to learn different approaches and solutions from diverse perspectives.

Find and contribute to open source projects with guidance from experienced maintainers

NextTurn connects developers with open source projects and experienced maintainers within its developer communities. Users can discover projects aligned with their interests and receive guidance while contributing, reducing barriers to meaningful open source participation.

Participate in live coding sessions to learn problem-solving techniques and collaborate in real-time

NextTurn will enable developers to stream their coding process with screen sharing and voice chat, watch others solve problems in real-time, and get invited to collaborate. This hands-on learning approach within trusted communities helps developers learn through observation and direct participation.

Connect with other developers and build professional relationships based on shared technical interests

NextTurn provides a developer-focused social network where users connect through GitHub workflows and shared interests rather than traditional social media. Users build authentic professional relationships through collaborative coding experiences and community involvement, creating a portfolio of real contributions.

Showcase collaborative work and build a portfolio that demonstrates real teamwork and contributions

NextTurn integrates GitHub repositories directly into developer profiles, making actual contributions and collaborative work front-and-center. This allows developers to demonstrate real teamwork and coding sessions rather than relying on job titles or traditional resume formats.
