Build it: pitch it, vote on it, we build it
Build it is a community contest: debaters pitch product ideas, we pick the best three, and Debate it members vote for the one we build.
About Build it
Build it is how Debate it members decide what gets built next. During a submission week, anyone with a Debate it account can pitch a product idea: a tool, a feature or a fix that would make debate prep better. We then pick the best three ideas and open them to a member vote, and the winning idea goes on our build list.
You can submit as many ideas as you like. Voting is one vote per account.
