Hi HN,
I’m experimenting with a minimal web platform that explores whether structuring debates into discrete facts changes how people reason about claims. Instead of long threads where everything is mixed together, each claim has:
a list of discrete supporting facts
a list of discrete opposing facts
separate discussions and votes on each fact
The system does not produce a final “truth score” or verdict. It just exposes how agreement or disagreement on individual evidence accumulates.
This is a very early MVP with:
a simple voting mechanism
category tagging
basic UI for facts and comments
There is no AI, no expert layer, and no claims of correctness. I’m interested in:
whether users add real, sourced evidence
how voting dynamics affect perceived credibility
how the interface influences debate structure
Any feedback on the structure or design is welcome.
