小荷冥想 · 创作故事

中文版

Hi，亲爱的朋友，你好，非常感谢你能使用我开发的这款佛系治愈小应用，希望这款应用能为你扫除内心阴霾，重拾心灵平静。

关于创作这个产品的缘由，要从我被裁员这件事说起。我是一名来自中国的女程序员，目前 35 岁。2025 年 10 月我被公司裁员，之后很长一段时间内心都十分压抑，做任何事都提不起兴趣。本想着凭借写公众号文章赚点广告费，但平台各种限流机制导致每篇阅读量不过一二百，收入也才几角几分。而作为一名中国的大龄女程序员，重新投简历找工作更是石沉大海。

因而，挫败、难过甚至抑郁每天都摧残着我的内心，于是，我再次听起《心经》和《大悲咒》寻求救赎，而佛学梵音涤荡心灵，让我内心之苦缓解不少。

机缘巧合，我看到了摸摸鱼这款产品，他的创作者是一名设计师，他用 AI 进行艺术创作和代码编写，最终独立开发出了一款记录摸鱼时间的 macOS 助手。于是，我也深受启发，希望借由 AI 创作一款治愈系应用，给人带来鼓励和温暖，让心灵重归平静。于是，我开始和 AI 成为合伙人，让 AI 担任我的首席产品顾问、资深原画设计师，甚至是专业的全栈工程师，于是就有了现在这款应用《小荷冥想》。

我在创作《小荷冥想》的过程中，小荷冥想给了我莫大的力量，支撑我走出困顿。因此，也希望这款应用能为你带来力量，治愈你的内心。

最后，要特别感谢带给我创作灵感和精神支撑的老公 SuneBear，我的三位恩师 Lulu、Sandy 和 Shanks，以及挚友 sophi_l，感谢你们在我人生路上指引我前行。

亲爱的朋友，家人亲友才是生命中最宝贵的财富，其他的俗世烦扰不要放到心上，好好享受生活、体验人生才是生命的真谛。如果你还有什么想与我交流的欢迎给我发邮件 nycode.jn@gmail.com，期待与你灵魂的邂逅。

Hi, my dear friend. Thank you so much for using this gentle, Buddhist-inspired healing app that I created. I sincerely hope it can help dispel the shadows in your heart and guide you back to inner peace.

The reason I created this product begins with my own experience of being laid off. I am a female programmer from China, currently 35 years old. In October 2025, I was laid off by my company. For a long time afterward, I felt deeply depressed and had no motivation to do anything. I once hoped to earn a little income by writing articles for public platforms, but due to various traffic-limiting mechanisms, each article only received one or two hundred views, bringing in just a few cents of revenue. As an “older” female programmer in China, sending out resumes and looking for a new job felt like throwing stones into the sea—there was no response at all.

As a result, frustration, sadness, and even depression consumed me day after day. In my pain, I began once again listening to the Heart Sutra and the Great Compassion Mantra, seeking salvation. The Sanskrit Buddhist chants gently cleansed my mind and eased much of my inner suffering.

By chance, I came across a product called “摸摸鱼.” Its creator is a designer who used AI for artistic creation and coding, ultimately developing a macOS assistant on his own to track “slacking-off” time. I was deeply inspired by his story. I, too, wanted to create a healing app with the help of AI—something that could offer encouragement and warmth, and help people regain inner peace.

So I began partnering with AI, letting it act as my chief product advisor, senior concept artist, and even a professional full-stack engineer. And that is how this app, Little Lotus Meditation, came into being.

During the process of creating Little Lotus Meditation, the app itself gave me tremendous strength and supported me through my darkest times. For that reason, I truly hope it can also bring you strength and help heal your heart.

Finally, I would like to offer my deepest thanks to my husband, SuneBear, who gave me both creative inspiration and emotional support, as well as to my three mentors—Lulu, Sandy, and Shanks. Thank you for guiding me forward on my life’s journey.

My dear friend, family and loved ones are the most precious treasures in life. Do not let worldly troubles weigh on your heart. Enjoy life and fully experience it—that is the true meaning of living. If you would like to share anything with me, feel free to email me at nycode.jn@gmail.com. I look forward to a meeting of our souls.
