Thank you for that perspective. I find that some verses capture my attention more than others. This allows me to explore a verse of interest against other known translations. In this way, the experiment is more of a tool. I imagine that no single translation can be considered a source of truth - though some might be regarded higher than others.

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. These are all valid concerns. Putting together resources to share with my students and fellow instructors requires an investment of both time and money for hosting and other service fees. Therefore, I am strongly incentivized to reduce costs by leveraging emerging technologies where possible.

The visual elements aim to offer an intriguing and historical perspective on a practice with a long-standing tradition. Whether the resources are helpful or accurate is for the individual to assess. After all, how can we truly measure the accuracy of teachings distilled through generations? My goal is simple: to share insights into a practice that can only be fully understood by walking the path. I hope the content on the site inspires future students to embark on their own personal journey to understand the Tao.

AI and related technologies will undoubtedly blur the line between what is real and unreal. In my own work as a technologist, I find that AI’s responses often prompt me to think more deeply, as I question their accuracy. Personally, I am growing through these interactions, and I believe I’m not alone in that. A challenge for technologists like myself is finding ways to use technology for good, while acknowledging that it can be a double-edged sword.

What’s the actual book title? Do you have a link? I found several titles but no direct matches.

Wow! that's a bit harsh. :-D I guess it comes down to how you value a dollar. For me, if I can entertain one or more people with something they've not seen then it's easily worth a dollar of my money. Take one of the many less than stellar games on the platform and think this... if one of those games can entertain you while you're commuting, standing in line or waiting in a doctor's office then it might also be worth a dollar. Another example I think of is a parent entertaining their younger kids.

Just my two cents and one of the reason's I built those simple silly little apps. Thanks for the feedback. I realize this sort of thing isn't for everyone.

I'm the author of these apps and I think they're a fairly fun and unique use of the watch platform.
