DevCogna overview

Overview

DevCogna is a interview training platform targeted primarily towards graduate/junior developers. Instead of just showing questions, it measures performance (accuracy + response time) and maps results back to patterns so users can train weaknesses intentionally.

Problem statement

Problem

Most interview prep tools optimise for volume, not improvement. Users grind questions without a clear feedback loop. DevCogna’s goal is to make progress measurable by tracking attempts and linking weaknesses to pattern-based reinforcement.

Core loop diagram

Core Loop (Telemetry → Reinforcement)

Users attempt questions, DevCogna records correctness and response time, then updates a weakness profile for each pattern. Flashcards and recommended drills are generated from this data — creating a closed loop for improvement.

Next steps

Next Steps

Complete authentication, implement attempt tracking end-to-end, generate pattern dashboards, and build the reinforcement engine (flashcards + weak-pattern drills). Then validate the feedback loop with early users.
