What it does
Stoa is the only place where Aristotle, Seneca or Marcus Aurelius answer from their own writings and nothing else. Every mind is built from public-domain primary sources and the testimonies of contemporaries, speaks in its own register, and knows only what it could have known in its lifetime. No invented quotes, bibliography published. You can chat in the browser (first question free), own a philosopher as a skill that runs inside your ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini, or commission a custom persona.
Talk with the great minds of antiquity, in their own voice. Chat in your browser, own a mind as a downloadable skill, or commission a persona built for you.
Ask Sokrates what courage is, Platon about the Forms, Aristoteles what makes a life good. They answer the way they actually wrote, in your browser, right now. The man who is angry at the right things and with the right people, and as he ought, when he ought, and for as long as he ought, is praised. The difficulty is in the how much, and the how. Every mind on Stoa is the same faithful build. You choose where the conversation lives. Open a conversation with any mind, here on the site. Every exchange is kept in your journal, so you can return to what they told you. A downloadable skill that installs into your ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. The full voice and their complete works, running on the…from talktostoa.com

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
