WeCroak

Ah, the Stoics remedy at last.

Please add russian language

很有意义，但求求了整个中文吧……

那就是我们终究会死去。

论活着的意义

基本老孙家

I’m seeing the same quotes every time. Update with some new ones please.

Love the concept, but all the quotes I’ve gotten have used he/him pronouns or explicitly only referred to men when discussing grander truths or observations about life.

I have used this app for a long time and I really enjoyed it, but since they added a premium version the quality of the free version has really gone down. And I absolutely don’t begrudge them needing to make some money to keep the app going, but the way to do that is to add new features for premium and maybe an optional tip jar to the free version, not to make the free version worse by making all the quotes “inspirational” (insipid) celebrity babble. Unfortunately the premium version doesn’t seem worth it -ironically what drew me to the app in the first place was the promise to not make just another “mindfulness” app with goals/streak achievements and all that noise, which is exactly what leap appears to be. What made this app unique has been largely pruned away for the sake of marketability, and frankly if one is just looking for generic inspirational quotes X number of times a day then there are dozens of better apps on the market for that. It’s even possible to build something that does this yourself with very little tech know-how. Capitalism ruins everything, yada yada… just goes to show that trying to make non-attachment and meditations on mortality into a consumable product is probably an unworthy and unworkable goal from the outset. That’s maybe a good thing, and the thought definitely makes deleting an app I’ve used daily for years feel a bit less sad. And even in saying goodbye to WeCroak there’s a final speck of wisdom to take from it: all things end. It was nice while it lasted.

I was really excited to use this app as a Buddhist and meditator. I was disappointed in the app’s performance as my 5 daily quotes didn’t come through, and the app itself is lacking in terms of settings and controls. It’s a great idea just not executed well.
