Show HN: Goat – An open-source social debate platform

1 umarov 0 8/9/2025, 7:15:56 PM goat.uz ↗

We are building GOAT, a new open-source platform for social debate. Our goal was to create a modern and more engaging space for discussions, moving beyond traditional forums. We wanted to build a place where conversations are not only intelligent but also fun.

To make it more engaging, we added features like interactive 3D achievement badges that you earn as you participate. We also integrated AI that lets you create a unique profile picture just by typing a description of what you want. Behind the scenes, AI also helps keep the discussions constructive.

The platform is live, and as it's open-source, we are constantly working on improving it. We would love to hear your feedback!
