Here’s a list of tools for analyzing and following discussions and debates. Some of them are low-tech methods of noting down the conversations, but there are also tools, that can be used as outlinrers.

“An online debate tool facilitates the act of debating by helping to manage the structure of argumentation. This distinguishes it from general purpose communication tools such as wikis and forums. Some online debate tools provide graphical representations of arguments, but this is not a requirement.”

Interesting, thanks! I had no idea that such specialised tools existed; in the past I had use the Dialogue Mapping methodology which used Compendium (now no longer updated) but could be implemented with other non-specialised tools as well.

The debate tools listing does not include Rationale https://www.reasoninglab.com/rationale/ discussed here some time ago. Another tool that could be used in a similar context is Flying Logic.
