Codementor Mentees

It's so nice to talk with people from different countries, with different beliefs and philosophies, coming from different classes and cultures but wanting to learn coding, create a new app or fixing their existing one. I do this on Codementor.io.

How I created this

This project is a fork of Ionică Bizău's project. So most parts of the front-end are taken from his project, I just tuned it to my liking. The data collection and refining part I coded myself.

Data

Data is collected from codementor API. Codementor has two modes of help, live sessions and freelance projects. That data for both those modes is collected in two json files from codementor API (not sharing those as I care for the privacy of people I work with).

For each freelance project or live session, user-id of the mentee and their timezones are extracted. Codementor does not ask people for their countries but their timezones. Next timeszones are converted into countries by geocoding.

The user-ids have been anonymized. The main reason for making the user-ids anonymous is mainly to preserve the mentee's privacy (I'm not interested to visualize their identity on the map). However, I do want to know how many sessions I had with a specific mentee. Hence, the anonymized user ids.
