We'll match you based on your GitHub profile and learning goals

$ crabcoach --explain how-it-worksโ–Š

From signup to session in 3 steps

01

Share your GitHub

We analyze your repos, contributions, and dependencies to understand exactly where you're stuck and what you're building.

$ gh auth login
02

Get matched to a maintainer

We pair you with a maintainer who works on the exact crates in your Cargo.toml. Not a generic tutor โ€” the person who wrote the code.

$ match --best-fit
03

Code together for 1 hour

Share your screen, pair program on your actual codebase, and get unstuck. Walk away with real solutions, not theory.

$ session::start()
$ crabcoach --diff generic-tutor vs crabcoachโ–Š

Why CrabCoach, not another tutorial?

Generic tutors teach syntax. We connect you with the people who designed the APIs you're struggling with.

๐Ÿ”ง

Verified maintainers only

Every mentor has merged PRs to crates you actually use. Check their GitHub โ€” it's all public. No fake credentials.

๐Ÿ“Š

Matched by your code, not your resume

We read your repos and Cargo.toml to find the right mentor. No generic pairing โ€” you get someone who knows your stack.

โฑ๏ธ

One hour. One problem. Solved.

No recurring subscriptions or 12-week courses. Book a single focused session, get unstuck, and ship faster.

๐ŸŽฏ

In your codebase, not toy examples

Sessions happen in your actual project. Real problems, real solutions. You walk away with working code, not theory.
