Logic is largely inaccessible to people. It takes a lot of time and thought to break down an argument into its components, to evaluate its cogency. Most people don't have the skill to do this. Even among those who do, it is still challenging to understand an argument on a logical basis.

This app facilitates logical discussion and debate, with the goal of bringing people together when they disagree, and help them reach mutual understanding.
