Show HN: I made a competitive debating game(like chess.com but for debating)

Got tired of my debates with my friend's ending in "I'm right bc I said so" so I made a platform where you can debate with your friend's(or a bot, recently added feature) about whatever you want, and after the debate is done a LLM judges who's more sound in logic. Gain points and climb the leaderboard!

Feedback and criticism would be appreciated(there's a discord in there if u wanna talk more in depth)

Since there's prolly no active users on it rn, to test it u could try the bot mode or ask a friend to debate with you :)

why is there 10 of u who made an acc and none are debating what are u guys even doing on there is the ui not intuitive?

The idea seems very cool.

I didn't create an account because it's asking for my email address when using my google account. Don't want more spam.

Also, some decisions seem more politically charged than necessary, like using "Donal Trump" as an example of an "Easy" debate opponent.

Finally, I don't know the SMS-style abbreviations are much appreciated on HN (u for you is the most annoying example in your introduction). I'm not sure why it's bothering me enough to tell you about it...

I just chose the bot opponents randomly haha and I'll keep the formalism on HN in mind.
