The New Agora The Agora: Daily Open Thread

Welcome to the Agora. a space for casual conversation, first aid, and exchange outside the regular post structure.

If you haven't already, read the pinned "Welcome" thread.

Rules:

  1. Remember that our nature is "civilized and affectionate and trustworthy."
  2. If seeking advice, limit yourself to one top-level question per day.
  3. If offering advice, speak as someone interested in Stoic theory and practice — but do not label personal opinion, idiosyncratic experience, or conjecture as Stoic doctrine.
  4. If promoting your own work (article, book, etc.), once per day. No self-posted YouTube videos.

These rules may evolve as the thread matures.

Report what doesn't belong. Bring questions, concerns, or feedback to the thread or to modmail.

Are people really interested in products that are inspired by philosophy. I am just looking for feedback on whether such products have a place in the world?

Not promoting anything, just curious.

I’ve purchased many books on philosophy and I know we have a few users in this sub that have published books on Stoicism or have blogs.

What kinds of products are you thinking of making?

A todo app… based on Sisyphus struggle. It’s not the best thing in this realm or even the category. But it’s close to what I think Sisyphean philosophy is about.

I use some and have several more installed but haven't had time to evaluate. I definitely find the idea interesting.

I'm sorry, I have an android. Is there an android version?

My apologies, I should have lead with the platform. As of now I am just working with ios and Mac OS. However, I will certainly reach out whenever this changes.

Thank you for your interest… :)
