The Stoic’s Companion: From Reflection to Action

Hello fellow Stoics,

I'm a philosophy professor who recently dove into the world of Stoicism. I began with studying Epictetus' The Enchiridion and then Sanjay Tiwari’s A Stoic’s Guide to the Modern World. This school of thought had such a profound impact on me I began building something to help me apply Stoic principles in my daily life.

This all started as personal notes, but quickly evolved into a structured resource for daily reflectionjournaling, and navigating life's hardships using Stoic principles. It’s NOT meant to replace the original texts, but to work alongside them; in other words a "companion".

If you’re just getting started on your Stoic Journey and looking for ways to put it into practice, Check out my personal outline below it might help. I’d also appreciate any feedback or ideas!

Here’s what my guide includes:

· Key Stoic principles extracted directly from the text

· Journaling exercises & structured templates for reflections

· Real-life Stoic action plans for varying scenarios of anxiety, failure, rejection, temptation, and more

· A glossary of Stoic Techniques & Terms, including Negative Visualization, Dichotomy of Control, and Premeditatio Malorum and many more

Also, for those of you who are already on your path to Stoic Sagehood I’d love to hear what practices or techniques have worked for you!

KeyMaster — A lightweight, custom layout typing tutor

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share KeyMaster-Custom-Layout-Trainer , a lightweight, self-contained touch typing tutor built entirely in a single HTML file (no external Javascript frameworks or dependencies to download). It’s designed for anyone looking to learn a new keyboard layout, practice custom texts, or run random speed tests.

🚀 Key Features:

  • Fully Animated Hand Guides: Visualizes realistic, semi-transparent hands over the keyboard in real-time. The hand guide highlights only the specific finger needed for the next character, helping you learn correct reach habits.
  • Custom Layout & KLC Support: Swap between standard presets (QWERTY, Colemak, Dvorak) or custom layouts (Graphite, Grawerty). You can even drag-and-drop a Windows .klc (Keyboard Layout Creator) file to import any keyboard layout instantly.
  • Progressive 25-Lesson Path: Follows a structured training path that slowly unlocks keys, concluding with row-specific review sentences, numbers, and symbols.
  • Random Multi-Subject Typing Tests: Offers 1/2/3-minute or 1/2/3-page typing tests that pull from 15 engaging, random topics covering science, philosophy, and tech.
  • Live Analytics & Heatmaps: Tracks your WPM progression on a live line graph, and updates an interactive error heatmap on the keyboard to highlight your slowest or most typo-prone keys.
  • Single-File & Self-Hostable: Because the entire app is in one HTML file, you can run it locally offline, drag-and-drop it into your browser, or host it in seconds on GitHub Pages.

Check out the code, host it on your own server, and let me know what you think! Any feedback or suggestions are welcomed!!
