Topmate
A tool for running your own mentorship: bookable session types, payments, scheduling and a single link to share. Useful when the questions in your inbox have outgrown what you can answer for free.

What it is
A booking and payments layer for one to one sessions. You define session types with a length and a price, share one link, and it handles scheduling, payment and reminders.
Why an engineer would want this
Anyone who publishes technical writing eventually receives more requests for help than they can answer, and the choice becomes ignoring people or spending evenings on unpaid calls. A booking page resolves that honestly: it makes your availability explicit, filters for people who are serious, and pays for the time.
The part people underestimate
Charging something, even a small amount, improves the sessions. People who have paid arrive with a written question and a decision to make, and the conversation is better for both sides.
Best for: engineers with an audience who want to mentor sustainably rather than sporadically.

Stuck on something specific?
Writing only gets you so far. If you want an answer to your situation rather than the general case, book a session and we will work through it together. Every session is free; a few slots open each week.
