Omegle for debate, with a live scoreboard
Already built this?
Show what you made. Add your app to this idea.
Pick a topic, get matched with a stranger who holds the other side, and argue
in real time while a model scores each point as it lands. First to 100 wins.
The scoring is what makes it a game rather than another comment section. Points
for evidence, for actually addressing what the other person said, for
conceding a fair point. Nothing for volume, nothing for insults, nothing for
repeating yourself louder.
Two hard parts, and neither is the matching.
Scoring an argument is a judgement call, and the moment people feel it favours
one side they stop playing. It probably has to show its reasoning for every
point, so a bad call is arguable rather than mysterious.
And a debate site attracts exactly the people you don't want. It needs a
report button, a ban that sticks, and topics that can be switched off — the
first time someone matches into a stranger's abuse, they don't come back.
Worth building the scoring on a fixed topic list before opening it up.
- Pricing thoughts
- Free to play — it needs volume or nobody gets matched. Money later from ranked play, tournaments, or schools and debate clubs, where structured practice against a scored opponent is genuinely worth paying for.

Build omegle for debate, with a live scoreboard. Context: Pick a topic, get matched with a stranger who holds the other side, and argue in real time while a model scores each point as it lands. First to 100 wins. The scoring is what makes it a game rather than another comment section. Points for evidence, for actually addressing what the other person said, for conceding a fair point. Nothing for volume, nothing for insults, nothing for repeating yourself louder. Two hard parts, and neither is the matching. Scoring an argument is a judgement call, and the moment people feel it favours one side they stop playing. It probably has to show its reasoning for every point, so a bad call is arguable rather than mysterious. And a debate site attracts exactly the people you don't want. It needs a report button, a ban that sticks, and topics that can be switched off — the first time someone matches into a stranger's abuse, they don't come back. Worth building the scoring on a fixed topic list before opening it up. Requirements: - Ship the smallest version that delivers the core value above, nothing more. - Pick a stack you can deploy in a day, and state the choice before writing code. - Handle the empty state, the error state and the offline case explicitly. - Pricing to build toward: Free to play — it needs volume or nobody gets matched. Money later from ranked play, tournaments, or schools and debate clubs, where structured practice against a scored opponent is genuinely worth paying for. Start by listing the screens, then build them one at a time.
