If you share a blog post from Debaty on X, LinkedIn or WhatsApp, you'll see the large example map with the image and the title on it before that card remained small or empty. Also a link that you share immediately after publishing, shows the image right now. - Better — If you share a Debate link, you now see a real preview
So far, WhatsApp, Signal and LinkedIn only showed a small favicon at a shared debate.com link. Now a full card comes with: the Debaty fish, the opening phrase of the site and the explanation under it in your own language. Existing links that you previously shared remain their old preview; New shares get the card right away. - Better — Shared links now show a Debate preview everywhere
If you share a page of Debate in WhatsApp, LinkedIn or Signal, you'll see a real map with image, title and explanation in the waiting list, the help center, the legal pages and the login screens. Previously, that was often just a bare link.

Your lists, notifications, concepts, collections, starter packages, stories and followed topics now show the same fish illustration with a sentence that says what you can do, instead of just saying that there is nothing. And on the welcome page swims a school in which every fish is someone who answered the question today. - Better — Choose above your timeline how it is sorted
Above the timeline there is now a rule at each stand explaining what he does with the order, with a link to the explanation. Your choice will be remembered, even after logging out. And "Why do I see this?" opens with one tap from the contribution itself, without first opening the . - Fixed — Dark mode now also colors the scrollbar and the loading screens
If your theme was 'follow my system' and your device was dark, the app could display a dark page with a white scrollbar, light selection menus and a bright white sweep over the charging screens. That happened especially after changing language. The chrome of the browser now follows the same theme as the rest. - New — New page: Our promises, with a date underneath
On /promises there are seven promises that Debaty already makes today: no data sales, advertisements on the subject and not on you, take your data with you whenever you want, an algorithm that explains itself, own servers in the Netherlands, no tricks, and thirty days if we ever stopped. Every promise says where to look at him, and at the bottom of the date of the version.

Reply, polls, sources, report, block, objection, age 16+, choose your app language, translate a message and use accessible are now in all fourteen languages of Debate, not only in Dutch and English. Along the way, eight allegations were corrected that were no longer correct: The aid center promised 12 more languages, and a quality rating on sources that Debaty doesn't give. - Better — The demand of the day no longer keeps track of a series, but counts your days
Where first 'Reeks of 6' was written, it now stands '6 days'. If you skip a day, nothing happens: The number stands and nothing disappears. Joining in can be fun, it doesn't have to be an obligation. - Better — Today's question is now your first screen
If you sign up new, the tour starts with today's question: One tap and you can see where you land between everyone who answered today. Then you choose your subjects, so that your timeline is immediately filled. Your name, photo and bio will be in the back. You can do it later. Skip from the first screen; the day question is just at the top of your timeline. - New — You see now who changed their minds . . . and by whom
From now on, your profile will show how often you changed your mind and how often you contributed to someone else. In a discussion a reaction that changed one's opinion gets a small mark; Tap it and read what it means. - Better — The whole aid section is now in 14 languages
The last twelve auxiliary items . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The aid section consequently no longer pertains to Dutch or English. Along the way, fifteen descriptions have also been updated that are no longer consistent with what the app does. - Fixed — Tools now show their own name in the browser tab
Each page in the auxiliary center had the same title as the auxiliary center itself. Now the name of the article or category is in the tab, in the submap, and in search engines, in all fourteen languages. - New — You can now enter a live blog on another website
Like a bubble, you'll find under Share a 'Include' option on the liveblog page. You paste the code on your own site and the card keeps track of itself: new updates appear within thirty seconds, and once the live blog is closed, the card displays the final summary. There are no cookies, so you do not need a cookie banner. - Better — Your photos may be much bigger now
An ordinary phone photo often didn't fit: free was the border 2 MB. That's 10 MB now, and with Debaty+ 30 MB. If you choose something too big, the composer says that immediately when you choose you are not waiting for half an upload for an error. - New — Debate now has an editorial account
From now on @redactie kicks off calls: settings and open questions to respond to. You recognize the account by the official mark next to the name "One theorem" from the editor is an invitation to disagree, not Debaty's position. - New — Community membership list: search, profile card and badges
A community member list has become a true member view: search by name or @handle, sort by recent activity, administrators at the top, mark by new members and 'load more'. Tap someone and open a card with role, member since and last activity, plus buttons to post or follow. Administrators control reels, deletes and badges via one . - New — You get a message now when you get a badge
If an administrator or moderator assigns a badge to you, you will see that from now on in your notifications with a link to your profile, where it is next to your name. A withdrawn badge disappears silently; You're deliberately not getting a call. - New — Liveblogs: jump to core moments and share single updates
The core moments at the top of a live blog are now clickable and take you to that update. Each update has its own divisible link, shows if it has been updated, and new updates come in behind a button . If you are logged out, the page refreshes itself. - New — Video in your liveblog updates
Are you reporting an event live? Then you can also update a video fragment with the same button, upload and quality as on the timeline. Readers will see the video appear immediately, even without an account, and with Debate+ your clip may be longer and sharper. - Better — The liveblog composer can now do everything the regular composer can
If you put an update in a live blog, you will now have the same input field as under a bubble: formatting, emoji, poisons, photos drag or paste, and a counter that warns you instead of quietly cutting off your text. If you call someone with a @, then that person actually gets a notification, a link gets an example card, and readers can appreciate each update separately. - New — With Debate+ your video can last 10 minutes and it returns in 1080p
Video is now the clearest difference between free and Debate+. Free stays exactly what it was: 3 minutes, 250 MB, 720p, 5 per day. With Debaty+ you upload videos of 10 minutes and up to 1 GB, and your video comes out in 1080p instead of 720p. If you choose a file that is too big for your account, you will hear it now before uploading. - New — There are thirty start calls waiting for you
In fifteen communities the editor has opened a debate or open conversation about living, care, sports, climate, technology, food and more. Each conversation starts with a short introduction and a question, so you can immediately talk without having to start anything yourself.

If a photo is too large for your subscription, the composer says that in so many words instead of just 'uploading failed'. In addition, management can assign, extend and remove Debaty+ itself. - Better — The list of changes and the aid centre are now also on debate. com
What was added to the test environment over the last few days is now on the real site: 34 new rules in 'What has changed', ten auxiliary articles that can now also be read in German, Arabic, Frisian and nine other languages, and a privacy statement that honestly describes that Cloudflare stands for the site and sees your IP address. Two test lines that were accidentally on the list are out. - Fixed — Becoming a member of a community now also works if you choose a lot in succession
During the tour of many communities, anyone pressing "Become a member" got halfway a button that didn't do anything: There was a limit below the number of communities we offer ourselves. It's elevated. And if it doesn't happen again, the button will now tell you what's going on and how long to wait in your own language, instead of being silent. - Better — The aid centre now speaks your language on the first ten topics
Ten core articles . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . On the way, errors were corrected: a community is public and not a closed circle, your interests are in your settings, and the day question you answer on your timeline. - Better — The privacy pages now also tell who sees the traffic to the site
Since August 7, all traffic to Debaty first runs past Cloudflare, as security against attacks. It didn't even say anything between you and our server. The privacy statement, the sub-processor list and 'where Debaty runs' now say in all fourteen languages what that layer sees (your traffic and your IP address) and what we don't do with it: follow you. - Better — The confirmation page of the waiting list now says what happened
If you clicked on the confirmation link, then 'You are on the list' remained 'One more click'. Each step now has its own head "b" even if the link no longer works. The same applies to the unsubscribe page. - Better — On Discover there is now more in the right column
The side column on the discovery page was empty for those who had not answered the day question. You will now also find the invitation card and the reference to Debate+. - New — The blog is now in the Frysk
From now on, all blog posts will also be in the Frysk. That language doesn't have an automatic translation engine, so the blog hasn't been in it so far, and new messages can follow the same path. - Fixed — The status page no longer reports any malfunctions that were not there
Six parts seemed to be becoming slow at the same time. Those weren't six slow shifts, but one moment our key storage stopped because construction tools ran right through it . And the line 'The connection to Debate' henceforth measures the real site instead of the testing environment, so that work on the site there no longer appears as a malfunction. - Fixed — Failure days on the status page only count once
A number of days in the history of status.debatey.com were counted twice, so there seemed to be disturbances that weren't there and one day read 'not measured' while there were measurements. The days are calculated again from the underlying measurements; What it says now is consistent with what was measured. - Fixed — Saving settings and interests works in every browser
The server told browsers to read and create only, not update or delete. Browsers who adhered to that blocked the storage of your interests, your settings and your profile before the request went out. That's corrected. - New — Resetting your interests at Settings
With Settings there is now a block 'Your interests': The same chips as in the tour, so you can adjust where your timeline is tuned to without doing the whole tour again. The subjects that you follow are immediately under "b" there you can also let them go. Whatever you choose remains private.

Sometimes the screen reported that an invitation had been successful while nothing went out after a refresh, the address was back on. This happened in the case of notifications whose email address has not yet been confirmed. They now remain visible with the indication that the confirmation is missing, without an invitation button, and the subsequent notification mentions who did and did not go along. - Better — The tour now also leaves Discovering, messages and seeing the Day Dive
The welcome tour has been updated to the site as it is now. There's been a step behind it. Discover the page where you see what's going on outside of the people you're following. In the timeline step you can also see what the rows are at the top of your timeline (your Day Dive and the stories you follow), and you can choose who can send you a message. - Better — Choose your topics from all 28 groups, bundled by section
The question "what do you want to talk about?" offered six topics while Debate 28 groups have been unable to choose sports, food, travel, work, health and a lot more. Now they are all there, neatly bundled under Society, Knowledge & Technology, Culture & Entertainment and Life, with the same icon and the same name as with Groups. Whatever you chose earlier, just stay put. - Fixed — The list of people to follow loads right now
In the tour the step with suggestions sometimes gave an error message first, after which it only loaded after trying again. That was because two storage operations got in the way of each other; They share the same security sticks now. - Fixed — Retracted API keys from the test phase are no longer in your settings
On your setup page for API keys there were still withdrawn keys from our own test runs. They're cleaned up now, so you can only see your own keys. - Better — The status page has been redesigned
The page that shows if Debaty is doing it now looks calmer and clearer. The days that have not yet been measured are marked as one plane with the dates added instead of dozens of dashes, so you can see the real measurements again. At the top is a new head with a button back to Debaty. - Better — The Discover page has a right column on desktop
On a wide screen to the right of Discover an empty column stood. There's your school today, what's going on right now, and at the bottom of the links to About Debate, the help center and the legal pages. What the page itself already shows are subjects, communities, people and debates.

AI in the classroom, Netcongestion & Energy, Forensics & OV-elde en Boekenclub no longer exist as a separate group. Were you a member? Then you will now be in the broader group that takes over the topic of Technology, Climate & Energy, Mobility & traffic or Reading Books. Your contributions have gone along and remain findable. - New — Ten new groups to join
Besides the eighteen existing groups, you can now join Love, Sex & Relationships, Money & Living, Faith & View, Work & Career, Parents & Family, Mobility & Traffic, Books & Reading, Film & Series, Music & History. You will find them on the group page, classified by section and in your own language. - Fixed — The list of changes is no longer behind what is really built
What changes were recorded, but remained on the test environment: at debate.com, the list stopped on 29 July and sixty-one more things had been added. There is now a fixed step that takes the approved rules to the real site, in all fourteen languages. Concepts stay behind until someone checks them. - Better — The status page now clearly shows when nothing has been measured
On the status page, days without measurements were a wide, pressure curved plane that pushed away the measured days. Those days are now a quiet, short indent: still recognizable as "here is not measured," but the image is again about the days where we do know something. - Better — Standing photos and videos now fill your whole story screen
A standing video or photo in a story runs from edge to edge, with the progress bar, the name of the maker and the reaction buttons over it instead of around it. A lying recording keeps its black edges: otherwise you would lose half of them. - Better — The list of changes is now also in the Fries
Read your Debate in Frisian, then the latest 29 items on that page were still in Dutch. They've been translated now, so you read the whole list in your own language. - Fixed — You always get an email when you put on the waiting list
If you were already on the waiting list, or if you already have an account, it stayed quiet after signing up while the page said there was an email on the way. Now you get a message in both cases: 'you are on the list' with a logout button, or 'you already have an account' with a link to reset your password. - Better — Each group now has its own identification
Groups looked too much alike: There were 18 cover designs for twenty-eight groups, so the same colours came back. Each group now wears its own signed icon "big" in the head of the group, small next to the name on the overview page, in the suggestions and during the tour. Same sign everywhere, so you'll recognize a group at a glance.

The Live page opens with the live blogs that are currently running with the latest update, how quickly it is credited and how many people are watching. New updates appear automatically, without changing the page. Below are the stories of today, and closed live blogs can be read back. - Fixed — Your ad credit will open again after we have corrected your balance
If we managed a correction on your ad credit, then your ad center then gave an error message instead of your balance. The correction was good, you just didn't see it. Now he's just in your review, with amount and reason.

On the community page you can now search, see your own communities at the top and become a member without clicking first. Each community has an envelope, shows which topics belong to it, and has a button to put something in immediately. On your phone the communities are now in the bottom bar; Live has moved a tap further to More. - Better — The developer guides now match what the API does
The guide 'Getting started' said that your first request returns a list of debates, while the example above checks your key and picks up the public timeline, and there was nothing about each endpoint asking for its own scope, so you walked a 403. The webhook guide now also mentions the field in which you give up your events. In all fourteen languages. - New — You can now also publish via the API
Apps and bots to which you give permission can now respond to bubbles, put arguments in a debate and give appreciations. This goes by exactly the same rules as the app itself: the same writing limits and the same moderation. - New — The API can now read: timeline, messages, profiles and debates
Are you building something on Debaty? With an API key you can now retrieve the public timeline, read a message with its comments, get a profile and its messages and browse the debates. You never see more than a visitor would see on the site: anyone who puts his profile on 'only followers' or shares a message only with followers, is also protected via the API. - New — YouTube and Vimeo videos now play in a bubble
If you paste a YouTube or Vimeo link, you will immediately see a player with a play button instead of a regular link card. The preview comes from our own server: only when you press playback will you contact YouTube or Vimeo. Works in bubbles, comments and blog posts. - Better — The sitemap is now readable in your browser
Open your debate.com/sitemap.xml, you'll see a wall of XML tags so far. Now there is a neat table: every address Debaty offers to the public, with the fourteen languages in which it exists. Search engines get exactly the same file as before. Two pages that weren't in it have been added: installation explanation and landing for developers. - New — Put Debaty as an app on your home screen
There is now a page that explains how to install Debate as an app per system: iPhone and iPad, Android, Mac and Windows. Where your browser supports it there is a real installation button. And enable notifications at the top of the notification settings, during the tour, and from that installation page instead of just at the bottom of a long list. - Better — Your data download now also includes your operations, views and attachments
If you pull your data, there are five species that weren't in it before: the previous versions of messages you edited, how often your messages have been viewed, the files you sent to a support question, the course of your identity check and your attempts to pay (also the failed one that never received an invoice). - New — Choose your own profile
Your profile can now be public, just for members, just for your followers or just for your friends. In the same settings, you can also hide your follower list, hide your online status, disable read confirmations in messages and set the target group with which your new bubbles start by default. - New — Groups are now wide communities
You will find 18 wide houses on /groups Sport, Politics, Science, Food and more with its own cover and sorted by section. Do you miss a topic? Then you suggest one yourself; Debaty will create the community when he's admitted. - New — There is now a Discover page
In one place you will see today's question, which topics rise above, the most active debates, communities by section and people to follow, each with the explanation why you see it. On your phone is Discover in the beam at the bottom; Groups and Live can be found on it and in the Meer menu. - Fixed — The explanation 'put Debate on your home screen' is now also without opening an account
The link in the footer to the installation explanation sent visitors without an account back to the welcome page. Now the page simply opens, even if you do not already have an account. - New — Anyone can start a live blog now
Follow a debate, a session or a game live: You post short photo updates, mark the core moments and close with a summary. You start via the place menu, via Live, or from a theorem and on the help page you see how it works. - New — Search now also finds blogs, auxiliary articles and comments
The search bar first only looked at people, bubbles, discussions and tags. Now he also searches the blog, the help center, the legal pages, the list of changes, live blogs, the question of the day and all comments. There are two new tabs on the search screen: Content and Comments. The auxiliary center uses the same search engine, so 'reporting' with accent now also finds something. - Better — When you're busy, you see 'too busy' instead of 'page doesn't exist'
If a lot was requested at the same time, then a page sometimes disappeared stating that it did not exist also the privacy statement and conditions. Now you get a quiet report that it's a little busy, with a button that takes off until you can try again. And the legal pages and the knowledge base are briefly remembered, so it usually doesn't even come to that. - Fixed — Reading times now as "Yesterday" instead of "1.292 min ago"
On the live page, in the mode queue and in the action center, how long ago something happened was only counted in minutes: something a day old stood as "1.292 min ago." Everywhere is the form you know now, 3 minutes ago, 21 hours ago, yesterday, 3 days ago, 2 months ago, in all 14 languages, with the full date if you stand on it.

The blog overview now shows the image with each message, with the latest piece large at the top and the reading time. On a message the image stands as a real header, you can share it or show it as a QR code, and click on the bottom to the previous or next piece. Editors can now put frames, highlighted quotes, captions and videos in a message. - Better — If you cancel your account, you will not appear in search and suggestions
Anyone who cancels his account gets 30 days to think about it before everything is really gone. During that period, you were introduced to other members. From now on, no more: Your profile remains accessible to those you already know, but you no longer show up in search results or in strangers' suggestions. If you change your mind and log back in, everything will be right back. - Better — In forms you see only one small avatar instead of a line of text
Above every form where you put something there was a rule explaining to which account you were working on. It's gone. There's only your avatar now, small and next to the input field. If you have multiple accounts, tap to switch. An organizational or official account gets a colored edge, so you see that you don't publish as yourself. - New — Advertisers now see the numbers of their own placements
In the advertising center there is a list of your permanent placements under Statistics: What place, what period, how far it is, what you paid (excluding VAT) and where your invoice is. Views are deliberately not included in the . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . - New — The management panel now shows if the mode is holding
On the moded dashboard is one number at the top: how many days of work is open at the current pace. It counts cases, not isolated notifications . . ten notifications about the same message are one piece of work. The growth dashboard now shows how many new members actually place and come back, with the definitions just on the screen. - New — Invoices can be entered in the accounts
Final invoices can be sent from management to the accounting package, with the Debaty invoice number on it. If it fails, the notification is included with a button to try again. - New — Your invoices are now complete in the advertiser section
Each booked advertising spot delivers an invoice with the correct VAT rate: 21% for Dutch companies, 0% with VAT shifted for companies in another EU country, and 0% outside the EU. You will find them under Advertising → Billing, with status and a PDF to download. From now on, only business can advertise, so we'll also ask for your KvK number. - New — You can book an ad site for a week or a month
Advertisers choose a place and a period in the advertising center, immediately see what it costs and when it precisely starts and ends, and book it. One place is per period of one advertiser: If it's taken, you'll see it before you book. - Better — The status page tells in one sentence if everything works
At the top of the status page there is now one clear statement "Everything works" or "There is a malfunction" . A part with a problem stands out by color, form and word, and when we can't measure anything, the page says that, instead of staying green. - Better — What changes is now on the changelog, in fourteen languages
The changelog has become a continuous list per day. Every change that is approved can be read immediately, and the translation to the thirteen other languages will follow. - Better — Blog messages can now be scheduled ahead
The blog management has been given a true writing environment: a format bar with a live preview next to your text, and images that you upload directly. You put a message now at a date and time when it publishes itself, you can delete a message, and you choose whether to write in English or Dutch . - Better — Blog messages now appear automatically in all languages
If you publish a blog message, Debaty automatically fills the missing language versions into .. A translation written by someone by hand is never overwritten, and a language without a translation model does not get a fake translation but simply the source text. - Better — The day question management is cleared: first the queue, then the calendar
The daily demand management screen showed two complete workflows at once. Now you choose what to do at the top of your list of candidates to assess whether to plan the agenda with a brief state of affairs above it. The fourteen languages are folded together into one foldable rule, the notifications above a day to a maximum of one, and from a candidate you jump to his day in the agenda.

Anyone who is suspended by a moderator could simply post messages in the objection period. You can't do that anymore. reading and objecting remains possible, places not. - Safer — Speed limits are now also working against whom they are trying to circumvent
The limits on login, registration, search and the waiting list form depended on a cookie that a visitor could invent himself: Whoever put a new cookie in each time got a fresh counter. Debaty checks that cookie first. Furthermore, the waiting list form received the same invisible bone defence that already had the contact form. - Safer — From now on, we will only store half the IP address of your devices

That's right now: only half of it is stored (145.53.xxx.xxx), enough to recognize whether a network is yours and no more than that. Existing sessions have been adjusted retroactively. - Safer — Security updates for the parts Debaty runs on
We updated the building blocks under Debaty to their latest safe versions. You won't notice any of it when you use it. Also, the status page is now always on an encrypted connection. - Fixed — Double clicking on send only creates one more thing
If you click twice on the contact form or when inviting someone, you will now receive one ticket or one invitation instead of two. Also, a text ending on an emoji was sometimes truncated to a half sign; That's settled. - Fixed — Dates with webhooks are now in your own language
The delivery overview of webhooks showed Dutch dates to anyone who had not set Dutch or English as a language. Now the date format simply follows your own language. - Fixed — A special character failure message is now an ordinary error message
If your text was stuck with an invisible steering sign in it, something that comes out of a pdf or a spreadsheet, then when you posted a message, changed your name or search you got the message that something went wrong on our side. Nothing went wrong: Your text just couldn't contain that one sign. You're just being told the sign can't. - Fixed — The cookie statement now fits your phone
The table with cookie names was wider than the screen, so you had to move to /cookies to read the explanation. The names are breaking down nicely now. - Better — The account menu reads as a list
"Add Account" was the biggest item in your account menu with its long explanation. The explanation is still there, but on one line, and the row is now as high as Profile and Lists. In the story-composer the bar at the top holds space and a dash to the content below, even if you scroll. - Fixed — Tables have clean corners again
The upper edge of tables did not go to the corners: The background of the column heads painted away the rounded edge, which could be seen as two holes in dark mode. All four corners are now closed, on each page with a table. - Better — If you're alone in your school, now you see your own face
If no one else took the same side as you today, then there was "1 person in total" with an empty space and a sentence that said others chose the same. Now your own avatar is there, with a rule that fits. - Better — Settings are now called what they're about
The names in your settings will tell you what you're doing: 'Edit your profile' is now called 'Edit your profile', because you edit your entire profile. 'My questions' is now on the side menu on a large screen. - Better — The support account now has a complete profile
Debate Support didn't have an avatar, no cover and no mark now, with a bio in your language saying where you ask your question and where the answer comes in. And the opening post of the Debate account has been rewritten: he now tells in the first sentence where Debate for is, in Dutch and English. - New — You can now delete your own discussion
On your own discussion there will be a delete button, as with your messages. This can be done as long as no one else has responded or has taken a stand.
