horyd,
Co-founder of Bitcast.io here. We just posted our Show HN two days ago. I think you'll like what we've built, and I think your projects would be an excellent fit for our site.
If you're interested, shoot me an email, my address is in my profile.

The pain I'm solving is in trying to find discrete, compact tutorials that go over an entire project from beginning to end in detail. You don't need anything to start it out, you just clone a standard git repo and watch the video (presumably completing the coding at the same time).
Each project has a desired functionality and would use a few key libraries so you can learn more about them. An example might be a instant messaging app using SocketIO, a basic dashboard using D3, a social network using Neo4j, etc.
The concept is to get people started with these technologies and then assist them in self-learning more about them after the project is finished (which they can continue to work on)
I'd release 1 project a week, on a Thu/Fri, in preparation for users to tackle it sometime on the weekend. The screencasts for a project would be in 2/3 parts and total >2hrs of content. You can purchase them for $10 each or sign up for a subscription for $30 a month.
Stack would vary, language will be mostly Javascript.
Would you guys pay for this kind of product?
