While I know many here think differently around this, I'm not a huge fan of streaks being able to include things that aren't to do with making (which ties in with this wip.chat/questions/368). Streaks gamify making and (certainly in my case) motivate you to keep shipping, so it kinda irks me when I see things like "Woke up at 6:30am" just so that maker can keep up the streak. Some rules around this will clean up the feed to more meaningful entries and make the streak system more competitive.
I agree 100%, the biggest value of wip is being part of community of makers that ship, which helps us through the dips and motivates us to push through. There are plenty of free todo apps for personal tasks, lets keep this place focused on work and avoid devaluing its core purpose.
I agree. Maybe we can have some sort of private non-maker todo feature that people can use to manage todo lists that are personal. I personally like using a single app for everything, and since I am using WIP for work-related task management, I would love to use it for personal life's task management too. That being said, a private to-do list which might not count in streaks would be a great feature to have.
totally agree with this. im still a big fan of wip and use it to ask / answer questions + enjoy reading that chat but the streak element I feel a bit lost on. i just log my todos myself now. reason being: When i spend 5 hours on solving one today to get my streak going it just a bit demoralising seeing someone "keep their streak up" with such a nothing todo.
(But for some people they love the streak. So I'm not saying we take that away. just saying it doesn't work for me )
