WHAT IS DISCOURSE? We're an online forum and debate platform that promotes deep, organized discussion. We're similar to platforms like Reddit and Clubhouse, but we approach online discussion from a modern perspective. ---------------------------------------------- WHAT MAKES DISCOURSE DIFFERENT? Online discussions on other apps and websites are disorganized, messy and 1-dimensional. You can spend an hour reading a discussion and not gain any real value: it's too easy to get lost in the crowd of voices yelling over each other. Discourse aims to solve this problem by organizing discussions more like formal debates. A limited panel participates in the topic while the audience rates their opinions on a variety of criteria instead of simple likes/dislikes. At the end of the discussion, we present the results and crown the most popular panelist. ---------------------------------------------- HOW CAN YOU BENEFIT FROM USING DISCOURSE? You go to the gym to improve your bodies, but what do you do to improve your minds? Reading books, watching documentaries and educating yourself is important. But without a platform to exercise what you've learned, you're losing half its value. Build and deepen your opinions by competing with conflicting perspectives on discourse. ---------------------------------------------- WHAT ARE OUR STANDOUT FEATURES? - Limited panel size - Criteria based feedback - Organized discussions (Opening, Comments, Closing) - Ranking and experience ---------------------------------------------- WHO BUILT DISCOURSE? Discourse is built by a solo-developer/founder. We're currently a company of 1 but are looking to grow into a team that can provide you with a valuable experience. Please support us on our journey.
