I see so many of us (me included) celebrate streaks. Starting of with reaching 25/50/100… and it starts off with excitement and then there are days where you come on just keep it going.
I looked the other day and I was at 1… I felt a little sad at first.. but then felt free. As I write this post I’m coming from a place of joy, excitement to be here and not bound by streaks. Gamification is great but it can quickly become a forced habit.
I have now decided to come and hang out here on my terms with joy without the need for streaks.
So for those who are streakless or have lost streaks I hope you feel the way I do. Free and light!
See you all here my friends on days that call me to come here. Like now :)

Totally agree! Gamification is fun, but to be fair it's more useful for PH than for us :)

Slim! What is the point of streaks here?

@edmondbitay I don’t know. More for PH to get engagement! I consider kitty coins more important metric of quality of your contribution to the community

I can relate to this! I lost mine a month ago and now I find myself engaging in more meaningful discussions without being bound by my streaks!
That's a positive response to that Slim. Way to go👋

That's very interesting story, I am happy for you that you actually managed to get so much positive things out of losing your streak. That's a talent! :)

Though streaks are motivational, I'm sure PH is interesting enough to get you back and explore daily new awesome tools!

@hosseinyazdi as long as I am not forced just to hit the streak! If I’m interested in looking then for sure

Hey Slim. I'm sorry this happened to you. It must've been quite painful.
I lost mine at 79. It was heartbreaking. So I made a Chrome plugin for Product Hunt (will post here soon)
It will have dark mode and streak reminder. It works by detecting whether or not you have visited PH on Chrome (where the plugin is installed). If not, you will get an email near the end of the day.
Hope this will save some heartbreaks :)

@mary_rumyantzeva glad to hear I’m not the only one!

Absolutely agreed on this. I think PH should display best streak as well along with current streak which would be a good indicator of the user engagement.
Welcome LOL - I spend lots of time in here but there are days when I do not have the band width, and that is totally ok :D
My own self-imposed PH streak is to make time at least 3 times per week and spend time trying to provide valuable insights, connecting on LinkedIN/zoom, and checking out superfantastical products that help my portfolios :D
Usually streaking is frowned upon in public anyway 🤪
Oh so sad, start it again.
OMG! 126 Day streak, So sad. just start it again.
Lost mine at 37 and it was my first time. Same situation same feelings
