Philosophy Now Forum

Hello this is Gulshan Negi
I am a Software Developer. Well, as a software developer with an interest in philosophy, I want to know that what kind of philosophy app I can develop that would be both engaging and informative for users or what kind of philosophy app I can develop and what features it should include to best serve its intended audience.
Hoping for some positive responses.
Thanks

Keep it simple.

Have ya tried reading some philosophical books aimed at children?They're, to me, a treasure of great value. Remember, what the children like, the parents havta buy!

You could include adults too. Make the app exam-oriented. Human nature, exploit it ... in a mutually beneficial way.

Good luck and if my suggestions made ya rich, do name me as a contributor. No, I don't want a piecea the pie.

Remember ta be Hindustani about it!

How about an application which can translate natural-language propositions into propositions in formal logic? I'm thinking of something which works in a similar way to existing software which can translate xBASE programming into flowcharts.

I've never had a head for formal logic, and I for one would certainly pay for an application which could successfully convert my natural-language arguments!

Agent S, I'm not sure that's really what you meant to say.

You could probably get ChatGPT to do that, it's definitely an AI-sort of task.

You would of course have to be able to personally check its output. ChatGPT doesn't always say the truth...

Sounds interesting, do you have the recipe?
