Finding quality mentoring is certainly a challenge for junior developers. But the problem feels like one of a supply and demand (i.e., there’s more demand for experienced developers’ time than they have free). This solution sounds like a great way of centralising that demand, but how does it solve it help solve the supply issue? I have personally benefited a lot from quality mentorship and I...

I might also suggest to streamline how many possibilities are shown for each topic, for example by grouping them under "basic", "intermediate" / "advanced" labels.

An accurate review is especially important to avoid security incidents, in particular when working with the npm ecosystem which seems to be heavily polluted with compromised and malicious packages these days.
