Show HN: I built a YC-style interview practice tool for myself, now public
getycready.comI built this while preparing for startup interviews because I noticed I rambled under pressure.
So I made a tool that runs a short, live YC-style voice interview with interruptions, follow-up questions, and post-call feedback.
It started as an internal project. I kept improving it because it helped me tighten how I explain the problem, market, and metrics. Now I’m sharing it to get honest feedback from other founders.
I’d especially like feedback on: 1) whether the interview pressure feels realistic 2) what question types are missing 3) what would make the feedback more useful
There’s a 1-minute live demo on the landing page.

I built this for myself first. The main goal was to practice giving short, concrete answers without rambling.
Current flow: - Live voice interview in a YC-style format - Interruptions and hard follow-ups - Transcript + structured feedback after the session
What’s still rough: - Some follow-ups can feel repetitive - Feedback quality can still improve - Pace/timing needs more tuning in some cases
If you try it, I’d really value blunt feedback on: - what felt realistic - what felt fake - what single change would make it more useful
