Cool idea! It's pretty much what I miss every time I post something on Facebook. I try to discuss about topics but apparently most of my friends are on my same page. I'll give it a try!! ✌🏼

@nivi_jasa thanks! Yeah I feel the same on Twitter. All my friends are on the same page as me and I know I'm missing out on a more complete picture of the situation. I really hope you like it, let us know if you have any feedback! 😁

Not that we want to stoke any fires to rile the internet up even more, but this could be used as a great way to try and gain insight on a topic from a different perspective. Like in any general debate class, the best defense is to learn the motives of your oppenent inside and out. You must be able to win an arguement from the opposing side. This could be a perfect way to prepare for any potential heated holiday dinner debates with loved ones :P

@youmapinc Couldn't agree with you more. We made this app not for people to win arguments, but for them to debate about topics they are interested in and wanna learn more about. A lot of times people believe in their opinions so strongly that they don't even acknowledge the opposite point of view - which is never a good way of looking at the world. We believe that the world would be much nicer - and more peaceful - if people are more empathetic. Thank you for your support, it really means a lot to us 😄. Any feedback would be very appreciated.

I'm not grammar expert but I believe it should be "Chat with people you disagree with" 🤓

@erickbarron86 sounds dumb (and shouldn't be used) but follows the 'don't end with a preposition rule'

This is a really good idea but sometimes talking to fanatic people is like talking to a wall.

@pavelmoskalev13 Hey, I'm glad our idea appeals to you. When it comes to fanatics we feel like most of them won't bother downloading an app like this, but to make sure that doesn't become an issue we're thinking about ways to identify and block them.

@pavelmoskalev13 Fanatic is a relative concept, no? I think that logic in this context is often backwards. As humans, we assume people are "fanatics" coming into a conversation, because we were unable to change their minds. When in reality, we assume everyone is normal until the point we realize they happen not to agree with us. Then we label them as fanatics. IMO, one of the biggest problems in our modern culture (specifically in the U.S.). Doesn't matter what side you come from, there's plenty of people like this on all sides.
