Rationale

As CTO of Austhink, I technically managed and helped architect Rationale - an argument mapping application, written in C# and .NET. This was done together with a great team of developers and thinkers incl. the CEO Tim van Gelder.

Rationale is now available as an online web app at https://www.rationaleonline.com/

Also at Austhink, we developed the online debating and argument mapping website the Hive.

I simply googled for images and took screenshots, now that basis nodes:
