Is there any kind of streaming service like Twitch.tv but for programmers?
Maybe it's weird... but I really like watching other people writing a project (Like in the Ludum Dare), I like to see how they tackle the design, how they work, what cool tricks they use, etc.
You can even interact with them via chat, and not only help but also ask questions about what they are doing... is great for people who are still learning.
This would be so great. It's really difficult to get a good video stream for displaying text, and often the only recourse is to go for super high quality, which is killer if you have limited upload rates.
I remember the guys at Big Block Games made this game in a 2 week sprint for charity where one of the artists or programmers had to be online at any time of the day:
It was completely streamed live and was really enjoyable, they'd work and chat to the watchers at the same time, answer any questions and give advice on what they were currently doing. Rather annoyingly it worked really well but I haven't seen anyone repeat anything similar since.
