Debatt is a premium, production-grade SaaS debate platform built for serious public conversation. Every debate starts with a clear thesis. Every argument is explicitly labeled FOR, AGAINST, or NEUTRAL. No anonymous accounts. No bots. No noise. Just verified citizens and accredited organizations engaging in structured, civic-grade discussion.

Engineered with React 19, TanStack Start v1, Vite 7, Tailwind CSS v4, shadcn/ui, and a fully managed Supabase backend (Postgres, Auth, Storage, Realtime, RLS), Debatt ships as a complete, installable, self-hostable SaaS — ready to deploy, brand, and launch.

App Overview

Debatt replaces toxic, anonymous comment threads with a structured debate format that rewards clarity, civility, and verified identity. Citizens sign up, verify themselves, follow topics and organizations, and participate in debates with explicitly-stanced arguments. Organizations apply for verification, manage moderators, and host official debates. Administrators oversee the entire platform from a powerful, role-gated admin console.

The result is a polished, production-ready civic discourse product — perfect for news outlets, NGOs, political parties, universities, municipalities, think tanks, and civic-tech startups.
