Title: Built a 10-minute Interview Simulation Tool – Feedback Welcome
Hi,
I built a small side project to simulate explaining solutions under interview-style time pressure.
Idea:
-> 1 problem -> 10-minute timer -> User outlines approach (not full code)
System evaluates explanation quality
Evaluation focuses on:
- Problem understanding
- Algorithm choice
- Edge case awareness
- Time/space complexity discussion
- Optimization thinking
The focus is on reasoning clarity and structured communication, which is often evaluated in interviews.
I’m considering adding a lightweight editor later to simulate constrained coding, but the primary idea remains explanation quality.
Would genuinely appreciate technical feedback on:
The scoring approach:-
- Limitations you see
- Edge cases this might fail on

wow! definitiely a nice idea
nice
I just checked it. It was a good experience but I wanted to say that you should add an archive of different easy, medium and hard problems so user could pick up the problem which he wants and then practice that
Thanks a lot @magnus_89
That's actually a very nice suggestion, Sure would try to integrate this into next version Stay tuned for it Thanks!
