Show HN: I built a platform where audiences fund debates between public thinkers
mcastle Wednesday, November 12, 2025Hey HN, I built Logosive because I want to see certain debates between my favorite thinkers (especially in health/wellness, tech, and public policy), but there's no way for regular people to make these happen.
With Logosive, you propose a debate topic and debaters. We then handle outreach, ticket sales, and logistics. After the debate, ticket revenue is split between everyone involved, including the person that proposed the debate, the debaters, and the host.
Logosive is built with Django, htmx, and Alpine.js. Claude generates the debate launch pages, including suggesting debaters or debate topics, all from a single prompt (but the debates happen between real debaters).
I’m now looking for help launching new debates, so if you have any topics or people you really want to see debate, please submit them at https://logosive.com.
Thanks!
