> over 4000 mentions on online medical aggregator PubMed

That is a weird statistic to choose for professing a proof of viability. I’m sure cancer has more than 4000 mentions on PubMed, does that mean cancer is good for me?

Why not cite a review of relevant studies instead? Quoting a meaningless piece of information is suspicious and lazy.

Without caring about meditation at all (sorry?), I want to thank OP for giving us a way of trying it without signing up.

All "Show HN" posts should do that IMHO.

Hey no problem! Every feature on this site is usable without registration and registration doesn't require an email let alone a confirmed email. It's just user friendly design, I agree, thanks for the input!

Speaking from the other side (as a maker), sometimes it's not that trivial to provide public access, and requiring sign up is a good deterrent against high traffic that has low value (curious folks).

The thing is, some products require something "expensive" to run (mine for example uses Chrome, which is a significant bottleneck in capacity). I know some large projects had to close or add a paywall for this same reason (AI Dungeon comes to mind).

Interesting concept, awful name.

This is awesome- is Or will there be a social component so you can do it with a group?

Thank you! MBSR is typically done in a group so to loop in some social aspect would be a solid feature but nothing planned atm, thanks for the feedback.
