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:

  1. Problem understanding
  2. Algorithm choice
  3. Edge case awareness
  4. Time/space complexity discussion
  5. 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
