Thank you! I think so as well, haha. it's something I personally wanted.
And oh no! really hate to hear that. I thought it was responsive, but didn't fully test on smaller devices. Sorry for that. I will work on a fix as soon as possible!
Honestly, most modern books on Stoicism read like that; I tend to avoid them altogether. Although I will say that Donald Robertson has done a great job with the two books I've read of his (Stoicism and the Art of Happiness, How to Think Like a Roman Emperor).
The best modern book, in my opinion, is Pierre Hadot's The Inner Citadel. It's primarily about Marcus Aurelius' Meditations, but does a really good deep-dive into Stoicism (and frequently mentions other Stoics).
I've been working through the pwn.college curriculum, as well as building https://stoacentral.com. It's meant to be a place to chill, discuss philosophy (Stoicism), and improve yourself. I built it after becoming annoyed with Facebook groups, really.
If you're interested in Stoicism, feel free to join and start some discussions.
I'll never forget when silver went down to $11/oz. I immediately went to my local metals dealer to make a purchase. I watched the two owners through the glass windows carrying a huge tote to the back room.
When they opened the door, they said "so many people came in and bought everything", both sweating and breathing heavy. Lied right to my face. They left out like five generic 1oz silver bars and a small gold coin.
And again, when the price was high, they don't want to pay anywhere near the spot price.
I learned this: silver/gold is definitely not something you buy to "flip", at least in the short term. It's something you buy and hold for as long as you live, if possible, perhaps passing it down to your kids.
No worries! For UX, I would personally add the Greek text by default, and remove the hamburger icon from "Compare Translations". I don't know, my brain is trained to see that icon strictly as a site navigation item.
If you wanted to, perhaps at the top of the page, you can add <select> tags for the translations.
But after figuring out what everything is doing, it's a super nice project; I like it, no need to change anything (above are just suggestions). Thank you for putting it together!
Absolutely love this book. The discourses are great reads as well.
It's wild how the human psyche barely changed since the time of Epictetus.
P.S. If you're a follower of Stoicism, I've been working on a community platform/forum: https://stoacentral.com (there's still a lot of work to be done, but I've been pushing along).
