"How might we engage users in the passion of a confrontation, yet encourage the open-mindedness of a balanced discussion?"

STANCE'S MAIN FEATURES

CHOOSE YOUR INTERESTS

Users first select from an array of broad categories that they are interested in. Hitting “Done” saves these preferences, and users can modify them at any point.

BROWSE TOPICS

Discussion topics are filtered based on the selected categories. Users can click on a topic to submit their thoughts.

SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS

The time limit makes for more fast-paced discussion, and obscuring other user’s comments facilitates independent reflection.
