And if you are writings apps to encourage people to need to look at a computer with an internet connections t connect to your site you are not helping.
Never though I would hear myself has a luddite

Perhaps I'm having a dumb day. Where's the irony?
It's a startup. Startups are notoriously hustle-and-bustle.
I know the founder of Calm, he's extremely laid back and great to work for.
You have to believe in the vision of a company to work there and this will be no different for Calm. It'll take the right kind of mentality to succeed at a place that puts reducing stress at the forefront of its mission.
Close your eyes. Find the peace within. Learn something you will be grateful for for the rest of your life.
It takes practice and some discipline, like anything worth doing, but the rewards to your health, your mind and those around you gives it back 100fold at least.
And you will have something you can do anywhere, at anytime.
No computer, no internet, no website needed.
Just apply within.

Anyone who has looked into causes of stress cannot avoid the fact that a lack of PHYSICAL activity, a lack of PHYSICAL presence, and a lack of PHYSICAL stimulation is a major, if not the major factor.
Trying to get the average person today to meditate on a computer screen is like trying to get your average desk jockey to do an iron cross - it will not happen without years of PHYSICAL preparation.

Can't put into words how horrible this idea is.
My knee-jerk reaction to this was at first laughter, followed by a deep sense of loathing as I dug deeper into whatever this site is supposed to be. This is fucking appalling. In some respects I might, -might- be able to get behind the idea of "meditation" as "SaaS" but for the most part I find this borderline insulting.

For me, it'd be like "virtual-parent.com! No need to be a parent to your kids, just point them at this website and we'll be their parent for you". If you want less stress, or to calm down, the last thing you should be doing is staring at a computer screen. Go outdoors. Exercise. Meet real people.
I would totally use Nagios on my kids though.
