New DSA practice app: intervi.co
A new platform called intervi.co was described on social media as a 'Tinder for DSA practice' that pairs users for interview‑like sessions where they think, speak, and code together. The platform is positioned as a way to practice consistent communication and realtime problem solving under interview conditions. (x.com)
A new mock-interview idea is spreading on social media: pair two strangers, give them a coding problem, and make them talk through it live. (x.com) In software hiring, “data structures and algorithms” means the timed coding questions companies use to test how candidates break down problems and explain tradeoffs. Services such as Pramp and interviewing.io already offer live or simulated practice for those rounds. (pramp.com) (interviewing.io) The pitch around intervi.co is that the practice happens with another person, not just an automated grader, so users rehearse speaking while they solve. That mirrors a real technical screen, where candidates usually have to explain ideas, adjust after hints, and write code under time pressure. (x.com) (interviewing.io) That focus on communication reflects how interview-prep products have shifted beyond problem banks. HackerRank’s mock interviews now market coding, system design, and behavioral rounds, while interviewing.io says its AI interviewer and human mock interviews both aim to reproduce a live interview setting. (hackerrank.com) (interviewing.io) The crowded part of this market is not finding coding questions. WorkAtTech, InterviewBit, and similar sites already publish large libraries of data-structures-and-algorithms problems sorted by topic, company, and difficulty. (workat.tech) (interviewbit.com) What is newer is the matching layer: instead of studying alone, users are told they can be paired for a session, closer to how language-exchange or dating apps match people for repeated practice. A separate prep product called SwipePrep has also borrowed Tinder-style language, though for swiping through problems rather than meeting a partner to solve them with. (x.com) (flipflops.space) Public information about intervi.co itself is thin. Search results for that domain point to an older design-and-marketing agency site, and independent company databases also describe Intervi as a Poland-based branding and user-interface design business founded in 2018. (intervi.co) (tracxn.com) That leaves the social post doing most of the work for now: it sells a simple promise that many coding candidates recognize immediately — practice the part where you have to think, speak, and code at the same time.
