> These are the challenges to try to overcome with meditation, so I'm not quite sure why Sit is different to other timers.

You're looking at it as a product, which is understandable, but that's not the point. I communicate with people through my articles, drawings and code, and this is one of the ways of achieving that. It's like telling a friend that it's ok to slow down and do nothing for a moment but then scaling it up to 50-70k people. You can call it meditation or fucking around, I don't really care.

Thanks for sharing Harbor. Weirdly enough, I actually worked for a company specialised in using generative audio + biofeedback during therapy sessions (led by some prominent scientists in the field, mainly from Imperial College IIRC).



Thanks, you're right. I do look at these things from a product standpoint most of the time.

Harbor was just a weekend of coding for me, as we work in neurotech focused on sleep, and I hadn't published anything that people could use in a long time, and it was getting to me.

We decided not to pursue Harbor because the science behind the impact wasn't compelling enough.

I'd be keen to find out more about the work you did at the Imperial College.

We may pick Harbor up again in the future, if we can be convinced of the efficacy.
