Mina interviews Daniel: 6 questions
Yes. I used to think a child asleep at their desk was being lazy.
One question at a time
Interview someone new, at random.
Read their introduction and begin with one specific question. Ask one at a time, then let each answer shape the next. Keep it short or go deeper if you both want to. From three completed exchanges, the finished Q&A is reviewed and published in the speakers’ own words.
You do not need every question ready. Find the first question in their introduction and the next one in their answer. If you need a starting point, draw one from the question bank.

How an interview works
From a match to a public interview
1
Post an “Interview me” card
Write a short introduction and mark anything you would rather not discuss.
2
Get matched for an interview
The interviewer reads the card and opens with one specific question. The other person decides whether to begin.
3
Choose the interview length
A Short Interview has up to 10 questions. If you both want to continue, choose an In-depth Interview with up to 30. Either person can stop at any time.
One question at a timeThe next question follows the answer you just received. That structure keeps it an interview instead of a questionnaire.
At least three exchangesEnd before three questions are answered and the interview stays between the two of you — nothing gets published.
Keep the original Q&AThe public page keeps the original questions and answers. Nothing rewrites either person. If something should not be public, report it for human review.
