AI Debate Era (MVP, 2026+)Copy Anchor Link

October 2026 (so far) — 514 commitsCopy Anchor Link

Prediction markets, a rankings engine, a native Tournaments product, and a big consolidation of the tool sprawl into a handful of workspaces — with account sync finishing its rollout across every tool.

Prediction markets and the file marketCopy Anchor Link

• Launched play-money prediction markets on debates, tournaments and team ratings, with preset markets for each division's top five and the season's majors, and rating and tournament markets that auto-open weekly. Hid names on the top-forecasters board and dropped partner-name search.
• Laid groundwork for an argument market kind with source and wager validation.
• Added a file market: sell files for wallet balance, with free table-of-contents previews so buyers see what they're paying for.

RankingsCopy Anchor Link

• Built Bradley-Terry team rankings from the new upstream CSVs, plus a head-to-head matchup simulator for any two ranked teams (later with per-side sims, school/individual weights and a "my team" shortcut).
• Rated side balance separately in prelims and elims and drew prelim and elim side bias as one two-bar chart.
• Reworked the scale a few times — rescaled ratings to roughly 0–110, capped at 109, zero-padded with shaded tier digits — and gave 80+ ratings a gold border and a Legendary top five, sized per list from its 80+ and 90+ counts, with rows labelled by format ("PF Legend").
• Added a balanced school score that dilutes small schools and is led by each school's top three, with a school-average overlay on the team-profile radar.
• Added past-season college policy rankings, 2009-10 through 2024-25.

Videos and the watch pageCopy Anchor Link

• Regrouped the sidebar into Research, Prep & Scout, Practice, Coaching and Insights, then into Lectures plus College Policy, HS Policy, HS Policy 1v1 (LD) and Public Forum; lettered NDT/VP/PF/LD badges and per-link icons throughout, with an optional anime.js hover animation on sidebar icons (off by default, switch in Settings).
• Rows now list newest first at every level, load every page so no video goes missing, show two columns when the screen fits them, open the watch page directly, and show each video's duration.
• The watch page gained AI speech detection with a per-speech LLM summary, transcription of caption-less videos from their audio, both teams' ranking stats and radars, a related-videos total, and a pop-out you can line a video up in without navigating. A team page got a record card with categorized stat bands.
• Follow teams and schools, with their updates in the news feed; ask guests to sign in after 10 videos; canonical URLs spelled by season (26-27) and /videos/<season>/<tournament> listings.
• Moderation: a category dropdown, viewer edit requests for moderator approval, "submit a video or channel" from the library, an admin Speech AI pipeline (segmentation, summaries, alternatives), removal of videos YouTube no longer serves, and the 506 curated rounds queued for admin approval on deploy. Dartmouth RR rounds are now filed as college and re-parsed with AI.
• Featured the NDT 2015 Finals on the debate start screen and let you flip through its speech docs beside the video.

TournamentsCopy Anchor Link

• Made /tournaments a native product: a live Tabroom list, every debate format typed to upstream Tabroom events, and tournaments addressed by year and name.
• Added a full-size Debate AI Demo Invitational with brackets, speaker awards, simulated live rounds in its pairings, and an admin view to edit its mock data.
• Added judge ballot submission with a Tabroom email check, an explicit relationship registry, public field allowlists, and a fuller schema audit; Tabroom is now linked as a submodule.

Account sync, finishedCopy Anchor Link

• Synced speech-document links, pinned debates, flow-editor display and keymap settings, flow auto-save mode, and the welcome dialog (shown once per account) to the signed-in account.
• Added a per-tool sync badge with Save now in the tool page header and across the cards, docs, videos, round and Reason Editor workspaces, plus saved-to-account markers on flow tabs and round cards. (Later hid the badge from the header once the rollout was complete.)
• Flows moved off localStorage entirely, with unlimited storage through the browser extension; auto-save of edited flows already on the account got an off / saved / all preference.
• Added the bring-your-own-key path for OpenRouter and Anthropic, and an AI-limit dialog that offers an account upgrade alongside your own key.

Consolidating the toolsCopy Anchor Link

• Merged the Practice Round Simulator into Practice vs AI, five prep tools into one Prep Workspace, six research tools into one Team Research page, five coaching tools into one tabbed Coaching page, and News Stream plus forums into News & Forums. Deleted the All Tools page and showed feature categories as tabs on /features. Added "Load sample data" built from real cards to Coaching and Research.
• Rebuilt the app shell around one resizable, hideable sidebar (shadcn sidebar-07) on every view, with organizations, notifications and site links in the account menu, Docs and Settings pinned at the foot, a hover-to-reveal dock, and a full-page Settings. Published the generic shadcn-sidebar package with Storybook demos.
• Gave Ctrl/Cmd-K a fuzzy-ranked, highlighted search.

Practice and roundsCopy Anchor Link

• Added a judge pool (volunteer for circuit weekends, organizers hire), anonymous partner matching with a ranked topic poll, a next-season entry on /practice/statistics, and Kialo-style argument-map views on the argument tree.
• In rounds: tournament-aware school and team suggestions, pick the opposing team from a school's ranked teams, click-to-activate speeches with your own highlighted, AI outcome responses in the speech timer menu, a judge's "be more clear" request, and a speech-recording captions ticker and full transcript modal with AI sections.

CardMirror, search and the extensionCopy Anchor Link

• Always create new speech docs as .cmir, open .cmir in read mode, show featured speech docs in highlighted-only read mode, and added saved/unsaved/failed document status, a tab right-click menu, hover buttons beside cards to summarize, find flaws, and read aloud (Kokoro/Deepgram voices), and compact two-line nav tags.
• Card search moved to BM25-ranked FTS5 with phrase match and autocomplete, with first-search and time-boxed query performance work and an "embiggen" highlight-only quotes view.
• The browser extension got a full-page reading overlay with AI beside the article, reading mode for YouTube transcripts, PDFs and any URL, backtick search, and app settings and AI key.
• Schools: coaches and administrators can claim a school's page.

Platform and housekeepingCopy Anchor Link

• Added @types/debate, made every package publishable under @debate/, added the private dev-docs package (table reference and self-hosting guide), upgraded every dependency, and cut startup work (stopped warming the practice stack, deduped app-wide polls).
• Fixed the Tauri app's webcam and a macOS .icns bug, and raised test coverage across flow, webview, round, videos, speech-writer and community.
• A noisy stretch of parallel PRs produced a run of bad-merge repair commits (conflict markers, lost imports, a broken typecheck) — all cleaned up, and the CI allowlists and tests were repaired alongside.

September 2026 — 1,024 commitsCopy Anchor Link

Practice, collaboration, and a wave of "second draft" polish across research tools, followed by a tool-page UI pass, a working docs site, and — in the second half — every tool's saved work syncing to the account, a rankings engine and a faster app shell.

Practice and AI opponentsCopy Anchor Link

• Ported the practice-vs-AI backend from Go to Node/TS and docked it in the main app.
• Layered a difficulty slider on top of AI persona choice and added past-attempts comparison to the Practice Round Simulator.
• Gave AI Judge Decision Modes a multi-judge panel mode: run two or more judge paradigms against the same round in one click and see a combined majority decision alongside a side-by-side comparison table of each paradigm's own vote and rationale, synced to the account like any other decision.

VideosCopy Anchor Link

• Chased down a run of /videos bugs — a route crash from Lucide icons reaching next/image, the service worker's fabricated 502, a YouTube "error 153," and a transcript API that always 404'd.
• Reworked the videos experience with a collapsible sidebar nav tree, persistent left-sidebar controls, a transcript modal with synced YouTube playback, and resizable/sortable list columns.
• Added admin YouTube video management with per-video publish/delete and a weekly resync cron that both scans the subscribed channels for new videos and refreshes every stored video's view count, so the library's "most viewed" sort stops drifting.

Collaboration and coachingCopy Anchor Link

• Pushed real-time collaboration further: live "who's editing now" presence and a side-by-side conflict-diff view in Shared Flow Sync.
• Added a team capacity view and coach-facing reassign/override controls in the Task Inbox.
• Added a shared checklist and activity timeline in the Collaboration Prep Room, and an end-of-sprint retrospective summary for Team Collaboration Mode.
• Rounded out Coaching Programs with a reviewer/approval workflow for coach materials, a coach-facing roster analytics dashboard, and a program-roster-scoped challenge digest.

Research and scouting toolsCopy Anchor Link

• Side-by-side case comparison and export-to-briefing in Scout-to-Strategy.
• Bulk CSV import and printable scouting reports for Opponent Team Profiles.
• Cross-device goal-setting for Research Progress.
• A winner-history calendar for Daily Best Card.
• Multi-judge comparison for Judge Profiles.
• Threaded replies and a high-priority flag for Strategy Sync Notes.
• A public topic starter library.

CardMirror and the editor shellCopy Anchor Link

• Reorganized the CardMirror editor shell again — a file tree + open tabs sidebar for the REASON editor, tighter menu-bar categories, Benchmark/About-this-install moved into Settings, and the ebb Flow start page retired into the flow toolbar with speech timers mirrored to the sidebar.
• Restored the Google-Docs-style menu bar (File / Edit / Insert / Workspace / …) above the ribbon toolbar in every editor host, so the same commands the Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-Space palette exposes are also one click away as a text-labeled menu strip, not just ribbon icons.
• Gave Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-Space an app-wide command palette, not just the Reason Editor's own: every feature doc's "reachable from the command palette" line is now true from /tools, /settings, both workspace hubs, and everywhere else, not only while a document happened to be open. Built from the same /tools catalog favorites already key against, so a starred tool, a palette result, and a Workspace-menu link all agree; stands down entirely on /reason-editor, where the editor engine's own richer palette (quick cards, commands, files) keeps the shortcut.
• Moved the Topic Starter library onto CardMirror's native format: an uploaded DOCX is converted with the editor's own OOXML importer and stored as a .cmir (so the Verbatim outline, comment threads, images and named character styles survive an import that used to flatten them to card HTML), the /reason-editor embed parses the stored file in the browser, and rows imported before the switch keep opening as HTML.
• Fixed the report that a file loaded into CardMirror sometimes disappears and goes blank, which was never only a display bug:
  • The embed reported any document change as a user edit, so a blank mounted by the engine's own machinery (boot, New/Open, crash recovery) — or by stored content that failed to parse — was written straight over the file in D1.
  • The embed now reports only real edits, restores a blank it didn't ask for, refuses to save over a document it couldn't read, and stopped dropping footnotes on every HTML round trip.
  • On the storage side, one debounce per document (with a keepalive flush on tab close, retry-with-backoff, and a truthful save-state indicator) replaced a single shared timer that cancelled other documents' pending writes.

Accounts and sharingCopy Anchor Link

• Linked the CardMirror editor's real-time collaboration to better-auth accounts: a /contacts page with a typical friends list (search-and-request, accept/decline, remove, block/unblock, online presence from a poll heartbeat), a Share with contacts control in the Reason Editor that starts a co-editing session and hands its share code + guest pass to a contact's account through /api/card-shares (no clipboard), and a Shared cards tab where every received card shows as available to open on any device.
• Restored that feature's four tables, which had been dropped from lib/database/schema.ts by a merge, breaking the production build along with node-canvas — a native .node addon pulled in as linkedom's optional peer that the Worker bundle cannot parse and now resolves to a no-op shim.
• Fixed Google sign-in dead-ending on state_mismatch: better-auth checks the OAuth state against both a database row and a signed cookie when the provider redirects back, and both halves could go missing on their own — the row because /api/auth/* reads could be answered by a D1 read replica that had not yet caught up with the sign-in request's write (auth now always opens its session on the primary), and the cookie because its five-minute default expired while the ten-minute state row was still valid (the two now match). Failed callbacks land back on /login with the reason in plain words and the sign-in buttons right there, instead of better-auth's built-in "Something went wrong / CODE: state_mismatch" page with nothing but a Go Home button.

Card library importCopy Anchor Link

• Added a card library importer for the published Parquet card dump: a debate-cards-upload CLI that streams each shard row-group by row-group and posts normalized batches to a new admin ingest endpoint (resumable with --start-row, --dry-run to check a shard without writing).
• Added the matching "Card library import" panel on /admin that runs the same import in the browser one file at a time.
• Added a debate_cards table cards are upserted into by id, so re-importing a shard corrects it instead of duplicating the corpus.

Tool pages and workspace hubsCopy Anchor Link

• Gave every training, practice, and research-collaboration page (27 routes, from /coach and /drills through /versus-ai and /cards/prep-room) one shared tool page header — a named back link, the tool's icon, title, and description from the tools catalog, an eyebrow naming its guide, Docs and Guide links, the favorite star, and the related-tools row where one exists — in place of the bare "Back" button each page opened with.
• Redesigned the Coach Workspace and Research Workspace hubs around a sticky, keyboard-navigable section tab strip with icons and panel counts, a per-section intro card explaining the stage and listing every panel (each chip scrolls to its panel, and an arrow opens the panel's own page), a "current round" bar in the Coach hub naming the flow every generate action reads, a workspace-identity card in the Research hub, and ?section= URL sync so a hub section can be shared or bookmarked (with the last section remembered per device).

Documentation siteCopy Anchor Link

• Finished the debate-ai-docs Fumadocs site, which had content but none of its Next.js routes: added the root and docs layouts, the MDX page route, the landing page, the Orama search index, and the llms-full.txt / per-page .mdx endpoints.
• Wrote a new Guides section (training tools, practice tools, research collaboration) that the app's page headers and hub sections link to via NEXT_PUBLIC_DOCS_URL, falling back to the source on GitHub.
• Pinned fumadocs-mdx to the version compatible with the pinned fumadocs-core, moved the site onto Next 16.2+ (which its Turbopack MDX rules require), and pointed its Turbopack root at the monorepo so bun's nested installs resolve.
• Closed the month by publishing the help docs at debate-ai.com/docs, which until now existed only as a Fumadocs package nobody had a way to read: the site is statically exported under basePath: '/docs' and copied into the web app's public/docs on every build, so the Worker serves all ~75 pages — the guides, one page per feature, one per workspace package, the Orama search index, and llms-full.txt — as static assets on the app's own origin.
• Every Docs and Guide link in the app (the tool page headers, both workspace hubs, and every card on /features) now opens the real page instead of falling back to raw Markdown on GitHub, the five feature docs that had never been ported were published, and /docs/features and /docs/packages got the section index pages their links had been 404ing against.
• The service worker skips the docs entirely, so first-time visitors don't precache a documentation site to open the app.

Account sync of every tool (second half of the month)Copy Anchor Link

• Built debate-data-sync to sync every tool's saved work to the account, with a searchable, sectioned Tool data list and sync status on /settings and /tools, a persistent "don't ask again" guest sign-in prompt, and visible failures from the background watcher.
• Synced the Flow Edit Log and flow-history undo log, Daily Best Card and award announcements, prep-note notifications, quest teams, completed research tasks, Quick Cards, AI card assessments, the CardMirror personal dictionary and Learn decks (with a create/rename/delete UI, review-log History view and per-deck badges), the pending task verification queue, open chat tabs on /doc, group-challenge wins, and more.
• Replaced whole-list overwrites with optimistic concurrency — concurrent edits to presets, libraries, decks, quick cards and streaks now resolve against the account's current value — and rejected cloud saves that would clobber a newer flow or round.
• Surfaced all of it in My Saved Items (flows, rounds, drill sets, judge decisions, outcome charts, pairings, personas, Learn decks, Prep Notes, Evidence Library entries and more) with filtering, deletion, and sample data for new accounts.
• Added a first look at Debater Level XP at /cards/level.

Videos, rankings and the openCaselistCopy Anchor Link

• Gave every video its own watch page with a side transcript, canonical URLs, per-user watch history, stacked playlists, a browser-cached library queried locally, a collapsible season → tournament → round tree, related videos as rows, and ←/→ between them.
• Added admin tools to edit, remove, dedupe, recompute stacks, and seed videos, plus an ADMIN_EMAIL allowlist and invitable moderators, and an interactive ZIP downloader and scraper for openCaselist bulk archives.
• Added the first rankings: clickable team and school profiles with a July 1 season rollover, a Schools table, a team radar, a side-bias visualization, and Glicko-2 ratings displayed on a friendlier scale.
• Gave every 2010–2026 debate topic a short title and emoji.

Cards and evidenceCopy Anchor Link

• Searchable Parquet card corpus (with the duplicate count as the rounds-read count) and a popup for submitting evidence from card search; read-by-row-group made the admin import survive a real dump.
• Moved the REASON file tree and open tabs into the app sidebar, addressed documents by name instead of id, and let you download owned documents and topic starters as .docx.

Native, extension and billingCopy Anchor Link

• The Tauri native wrapper gained a system tray, autostart, global quick-launch shortcuts, a Linux Docker build, a splash video, and a choice of app source (offline, debate-ai.com or beta), then dropped its updater.
• The browser extension merged the timer and card-reuse extensions, gained an article panel that reads any page and saves to your account, and now ships no remotely hosted code for Chrome Web Store MV3.
• Added Stripe subscriptions for the Pro VIP and Research Team plans with tiered limits, a team roster with lesson plans and drills, Cloudflare Turnstile on first page loads, and Mixpanel analytics.

Performance and reliabilityCopy Anchor Link

• Cut the app shell's startup JS from 4.6 MB to 1.0 MB, dropped 3.5 MB of render-blocking CSS, halved the Worker's startup memory, stopped loading the whole video library on video pages, and replaced hidden-iframe dock pages with regular React routes.
• Routed D1 through the Sessions API for read replication, migrated D1 on every master push, added weekly SQL backups to R2 (with a .7z copy in KV), and hardened the offline service worker so it stops serving half of one build and half of another.
• The drizzle/ migrations and help-docs internals were deleted and restored several times (with a drift/deletion regression test added along the way) until apps/debate-ai.com/drizzle was deliberately untracked on the 30th.

Platform and packagesCopy Anchor Link

• Split debate-card-search and debate-round into four category packages, and vendored debate-ui into each consumer.
• Published a typed OpenAPI SDK (debate-api-client) to npm.
• Added native-wrapper, a Tauri desktop/mobile shell shipped as Debate AI.
• Stood up a debate-ai-docs package and fixed an EventEmitter memory leak.
• Fixed bun.lock, which bun refused to parse because of a duplicated exceljs/uuid entry.

August 2026 — 363 commitsCopy Anchor Link

Identity, live sync, and a real content feed.

Accounts and identityCopy Anchor Link

• Wired real signed-in Google/better-auth identity into more than a dozen research and round panels (Leaderboard, Progress Unlocks, Research Progress, Daily Quests, Review Queue, Team Collaboration Mode, Team Brainstorm Assist, Group Challenges, Task Inbox, Collaboration Prep Room), replacing free-typed contributor IDs with session-derived prefills and, for Task Inbox verification, a real identity gate.
• Chased down a run of Google One Tap auth bugs: prompting on every signed-out page, a wrong runtime client id, and a 401 caused by a missing isAnonymous column plus overly strict account linking.

Live sync and cloud saveCopy Anchor Link

• Added cross-tab live updates (via storage events / BroadcastChannel-style polling) to the Daily Best Card Challenge, Contribution Leaderboard, Task Inbox, Progress Unlocks, Research Progress, Quest Streaks, and the new News Stream feed.
• Persisted account-linked D1-backed cloud save for user settings, saved flows, and saved rounds (idea #17 follow-ups), synced the color-theme preference server-side, and wired D1 migrations into the deploy pipeline to fix a production unable_to_create_user failure.
• Fixed two independently-merged user settings/rounds persistence systems that collided and broke the production build.
• Added a "Save all rounds" bulk action for Round Cloud Save so every local round (and its flows) syncs to the account in one click instead of one at a time.

News StreamCopy Anchor Link

• Built a brand-new News Stream feed that auto-aggregates activity across the app — quest-streak milestones, group challenges, revisions, prep notes, Argument Library submissions, AI Coach Mode sessions — plus an auto-generated "Tool spotlight" post for every unannounced entry in the tools catalog, capped for readability.

CardMirror and the editor shellCopy Anchor Link

• Overhauled the CardMirror editor shell — added a Plugins dropdown and a Workspace menu with full Tools-page search/highlights, confined CardMirror's own chrome to its own column with ebb brought in as an embeddable panel, redesigned the settings panels around that layout, retired the old CardMirror start screen, and fixed a menu-bar crash on load.
• Restored a debate-editor re-export shim split out from the CardMirror engine.
• Added an Insert Short Cite CardMirror command.

VideosCopy Anchor Link

• Migrated the video library from a static JSON feed to a SQL-backed paginated feed, seeded from inside the Worker with byte-batched inserts.

Navigation and routesCopy Anchor Link

• Wired up several previously orphaned tool routes (LLM Card Scoring, Scout-to-Strategy, Team Rankings, Speech Documents) into their nav entries.
• Added a "Tools for this round" quick-access menu to the round workspace.
• Added Site Links/Debate Links submenus and a direct settings link to the dock's Settings menu, and shipped a /legal/privacy page.
• Surfaced saved flows in the /tools "My Saved Items" widget.

Feature polish (Product Feature Ideas backlog)Copy Anchor Link

• Argument Tree Outline auto-sync while flowing.
• A nearest-match datalist on the Judge/Opponent Team Profiles round-ID filters.
• Common Argument Library tag autocomplete plus cross-store tag rename/merge.
• A custom opponent-persona authoring flow for the AI Practice Opponent.
• An undo/redo affordance for logged opponent rounds.
• A surfaced live-sync toggle in Shared Flow Sync.
• Conversation history for the Coach Materials "Ask the coach" action.

Removals and replacementsCopy Anchor Link

• Removed the CX NDCA Standings tool and its now-unused custom qualification-points-table follow-up.
• Replaced the browser-extension card-reuse checker with a new debate-web-ext implementation.
• Stopped the service worker from intercepting requests it can't safely handle.

Docs and testsCopy Anchor Link

• A docs pass fixing a stale "global dock's Settings menu" claim across 34 feature docs, plus a revised README features section.
• New unit test coverage for CardMirror schema-id helpers, footnote helpers, and timer sound effects.
