Argument Outliner
A working editor for making the structure of an argument visible
Fall 2025 · Working tool on this site
Overview
A browser-based tool I built for outlining arguments and their premises. It provides a dedicated editing structure for reasoning: rearrange an argument, refer to another premise, and keep the numbering and references in step with the outline.
Role: Designer and developer
Technical Stack
Notable Features & Challenges
- Argument and premise numbering that updates with the outline
- References to other arguments and premises with linked labels
- Keyboard controls for indenting and rearranging items
- Local browser saving, copy/export, and print support
- Source-passage and notepad panels on wider screens
Outcome & Status
A usable connection between engineering and philosophy: a focused workspace for inspecting the structure of reasoning while writing. Available directly on this site.
