That's good to know! We will improve the website at some point. We are all volunteers, so help is welcome :)

We can offer what paid services offer, because what they currently offer is not as complicated as they make it look like. Of course we don't have the same infrastructure, fancy offices and 200 employees, but content wise we can produce the same content + add content that isn't our and made available under CC license for example.
Not everyone has money no.
Regarding your last point, maybe you should check a website called wikipedia for example :)

hey!
We had a problem with indexing on Monday. So it will take a few days to list it properly. It's a bit annoying.. If you search for "Medito Foundation" it should show up! Sorry about that

The operating system you are using
Your device's size
How many times you have been using the app
What you did in the app (where you have tapped, what you have listened to for example) and for how long.

We have a a voice actor (American), someone who isn't a voice actor (British), and we have more voices coming soon (British, female). :) We want to make sure there is a variety of voices to satisfy everyone

If something is valuable, it shouldn't be restricted those with money.
We aren't stopping people for charging for a service like that, we just want to offer what those paid services offer, but for free.

that's great to hear! We are basically building something similar to Insight Timer, but totally free. With more refined content, and with a clear path for new comers :)

We are taking the same approach with this. Waking up is great, just expensive. We have more content coming soon, in the same area than Waking Up (more philosophical etc)

> This looks cool, but it's also the most direct advertisement I've seen on HN.
Thank you :)
We have some more content coming soon, a lot more sleep stuff too. A content apps like headspace don't have + CC content too from different mental health organizations
