 ## Key facts (as of October 2026)
 
 - Who it is for: students, competitive debaters and their coaches.
+- Who runs it: Ádám Gáborjáni, an independent student developer in Hungary. Pi-Stack (pi-stack.org) is the name he publishes his projects under, and Programcode is his GitHub username. Contact: hello@debateowl.com.
 - 8 prep modes: Case generator, Brainstorm, Factoids, Flowchart, Case attacker, Ask coach, Crossfire and Sparring. Plus 3 utilities: Library, Debate timer and History.
 - Case format: A DebateOwl case is written the way school debaters prepare: an opening, two to four arguments each with an explanation, evidence and why it matters, "If they say… we answer…" replies, a closing line and the sources it used.
 - Second speech (R2): no new arguments; about two minutes reinforcing our arguments, then about four minutes of "If they say X, we answer Y" replies.
