## What is Sijal?

Ever lost an argument to whoever talked loudest? Not here.

Sijal is where two people argue one question out loud, in turn, on a clock nobody can bend. Pick a topic, pick a side, and invite someone who disagrees. The app opens each mic when it is your turn and closes it when your time is up, for whoever is speaking and for whoever is winning.

A DEBATE, NOT A SHOUTING MATCH
• Two speakers, one question, and the rounds and the turn length agreed before you start.
• Live, both of you there at once. Or turn-by-turn, each recording a turn before a deadline.
• No moderator, no host, no favourites. The system applies the same rules to both sides.
• Every debate is recorded in full and published, so anyone with the link can hear how it went.
• Public by default. Private means unlisted, not hidden: the link still answers.

WHO WON, TWICE
• A machine judge reads the transcript once the debate has ended and names a winner, with one sentence of reasoning beside it.
• The audience votes before and after listening, and the result shows the shift between the two.
• Both readings sit side by side, at one size, and neither outranks the other. They can disagree, and when they do, that is the most interesting thing this format makes.
• Where the transcript cannot be made, no winner is named, and the result says so.

ROOMS THAT COST NOTHING
• Round Table: everyone on stage speaks in turn, and the system hands the floor on.
• Team Debate: two sides, two queues, sixty seconds a turn.
• Rapid Fire: raise a hand, get the mic, forty-five seconds. Go.
• Have Your Say: an open thread. One question, one voice at a time, a minute each. Anyone with an account can add to it, and nobody may add two entries in a row.
Group rooms are live and never recorded. Nothing is kept, nothing is published.

LISTEN AND VOTE
• Listening is open to everyone, and so is voting inside a room. Speaking, posting and messaging need an account, for people 18 and over.
• Everything posted carries the Name of the account behind it. Report or hide anything, and block anyone; a person acts on a report within 24 hours.
• A live turn can be heard the moment its speaker finishes it. Nothing plays by itself.
• Share any debate with one link. Follow a turn-by-turn debate and see when a new turn lands.

WHAT A DEBATE COSTS
A debate is paid for once, by one of its two speakers, and the price follows the speech it schedules.
• 5 turns each, 3 minutes a turn: 30 minutes of scheduled speech, $5
• 10 turns each, 3 minutes a turn: 60 minutes of scheduled speech, $9
• 20 turns each, 3 minutes a turn: 120 minutes of scheduled speech, $12
Your first live debate costs nothing: one for each verified email address. No subscription, ever. The price you pay is the one your own storefront shows you.

IN YOUR LANGUAGE
Sijal is in English, Arabic and French, and you choose which. Made in the Netherlands, for people who argue in Arabic, English and French.
