you need to work on articulating what this product does.

> It's simple, Fennce is a SME for "conversation on controversy & perspective"

is way confusing.

it seems like you ask a question which has two answers and see who swings which way?

hmm, We answeed that question before with

> It's simple, Fennce is a Web app for "Conversation on controversy"

does that sound better?

We are torn on this because we did'nt want to limit it to just plain kinda mainstream controversy. It could be anything that involves two sides. So we decided to add perspective there to make it seem less limiting. Maybe just saying "conversation on controversy" is our better option.

Even that's not immediately gettable. "A place for debates" (or some variation: "A place to debate your friends.", "Take on the world.", etc.) does it.
Ahh I see. I wanted to avoid using the word debate, because I found it made people think of everything as plain serious.

I tried to exchange that word with "battle" but that isn't as descriptive as the word debate. I'll defiantly have to change that specific sentence so it clicks easily.

To be honest I had the idea that we should simplify that phrase. One shouldn't have to be confused by the 5 words that describe the website in a nutshell.

Thank you for letting me know what you think I really appreciate it man! Thank you
