šŸ”„ How long is your streak?

by•

Mine’s at 858 days — and it’s personal.

Currently sitting at 858 days — which puts me at #29 on the Product Hunt streak leaderboard.

But here's the kicker: I once lost a streak of around 150+ days due to a slip-up. If that hadn’t happened, I’d likely be in the top 10 right now. Still stings a little šŸ˜…

Funny thing about the streak leaderboard — it’s kind of a zero-sum game.

Like on a derivatives exchange: it’s not enough to keep doing your part; someone above you has to mess up for you to move up. Your gain = someone else’s loss. Brutal, but oddly motivating.

So I’m curious…

šŸ‘‰ How long is your current streak?

šŸ‘‰ And what do you think about this ā€œcompetitive patienceā€ mechanic? Is it fair? Is it fun?

Let’s talk streaks 🟠

And last but not the least – what's the value you obtain from the streak?

Something similar happened with me. I lost a streak of more than 200 days. Then I lost the motivation to do it again. But I just finished 100 days of streak today!

I have lost a streak of around 230+ days, but currently I am in the top 5, so if I add 230 more days, then I'd be on top.

But the funny thing is I can't even remember how I missed the streak because I have never checked it. I visit PH multiple times a day to explore new products, and I never tried to maintain the streak; it's almost effortless for me.

Congrats on sticking to 859 days.

Congratulations, I've had a couple of moments where I lost my 70 day streak. But I'm up to 662 at the moment.

I did 38 days once 😁 It kind of motivates you to always contribute to the platform

I lost mine long time ago and now it always breaks somewhere around 30-50 šŸ˜„
