Shine

Shine is a calm, Calm-style web app of Tibetan Buddhist teachings for everyday life. 29 short teachings from Tibetan masters, each credited to its translator and source, are organised around life’s difficulties: Hard Times, Restless Mind, Anger, Grief & Death, Family & Friends and more. Every lesson has a narrated recording with the text highlighted as it’s read, plus optional ambient music. “What’s on your mind?” lets someone write what they’re going through and suggests the teachings that fit, showing why. Messages that suggest a crisis bring up helplines instead. It runs in the browser on any phone, with no account needed. I built it for my Tibetan community and anyone curious about mind training.
