A simple syntax (kind of Markdown) for complex argumentation, defining complex dialectical relations between arguments. Your document is transformed into an argument map while you are typing.

This site desperately needs a picture like the one you just posted on its front page.
Agreed. I read the front page and concluded it was a way to write nested lists with colored +'s and -'s.
I dunno, if you click [map] on one of the argdown examples, it interactively flips to the diagram of said syntax.

I didn't find that too difficult to discover. It even seemed more interactive.

True, but most people won't click on map.
I did :-)
It is a great picture to show its cabalities, the front-page examples are quite simple.
I entirely missed that button and came all the way back to HN comments to find screenshots..
Yeah, this is a much more convincing sell to me than anything else.
Thank you. I was searching their homepage for an example like this. The picture shows very clearly what Argdown does.
