Description

Add a Mock Interview Room feature that allows users to practice technical
interviews with each other in a peer-to-peer format.

Problem

Currently DevLovers helps developers prepare for interviews through Q&A and
quizzes — but solo practice has limits. There's no way to simulate a real
interview experience with another person.

Proposed Solution

A dedicated "Mock Interview Room" where users can:

  • Choose a role: Interviewer or Candidate
  • Create a room with a selected topic (JavaScript, React, Python, etc.)
  • Share a room link so another user can join
  • Add an external meeting link (Google Meet, Zoom, Discord, etc.)
    for the actual video call
  • Interviewer sees: questions + answers from DevLovers Q&A
  • Candidate sees: only questions, no answers
  • This simulates a real interview where only the interviewer
    has the answer key
  • Optionally rate the session after it ends (for leaderboard/gamification)

Why This Is Valuable

  • Candidates get realistic interview practice beyond solo quizzes
  • Aspiring interviewers gain experience conducting technical interviews
  • Community grows stronger through peer interaction
  • Complements existing Q&A and Quiz features naturally

Acceptance Criteria

  • User can create a mock interview room with a topic
  • User can select role: Interviewer / Candidate
  • Room has a shareable link
  • External meeting link can be attached to the room
  • Questions from Q&A are available inside the room as reference
  • Room expires after session ends
  • Interviewer has access to both questions and answers
  • Candidate sees questions only — answers are hidden

Additional Notes

This feature does not require building a video call solution —
external links (Meet, Zoom, etc.) handle that part, keeping scope manageable.
