The "How it was made" section of the README was not less interesting than the tool itself:

> The way we have set things up is that we live and practice together on a bit over a hundred acres of land. In the mornings and evenings we chant and meditate together, and for about one week out of every month we run and participate in a meditation retreat. The rest of the time we work together on everything from caring for the land, maintaining the buildings, cooking, cleaning, planning, fundraising, and for the past few years developing software together.

To be honest: This sounds like just another of the many many other yoga/spiritual cults that currently exist all over the western world.

EDIT: typos and slight wording changes

There is absolutely nothing in their README to suggest that you are using the word "cult" properly.

Did you visit their website? https://www.monasticacademy.org/

While I cannot judge them outright, their article "Cyborgs Need a Trustworthy Religion" can appear cultist as they try to intertwine technology and religion.

The fine line between futurism and cult.

I feel that spirituality does not concern itself with the material world making it immune to societal progress. Whereas organized religion becomes mired by societal progress as it's trapped in its own zeitgeist. I believe that trying to tie the two together is a misguided attempt at creating something when there is nothing that needs to be created.
