I just created an account today, and I hope I’ll be a productive monster like all of you because of the hardcore streak system, lol.
However, as many others like @nilsw and @shashank pointed out — there might be days/situations when we cannot add a to-do due to legit circumstances: no internet while travelling or living in a developing country, sickness that impacts one’s health and mental state (no time to worry about streaks), and so on.
Personally, I want to be way more productive than I am right now, but at the same time, I want to live a life and enjoy it — keeping the hardcore streak is a tough one since it means that I need to check in every day. Literally every day. Or like @ragingfart said: “‘Sick on day 7 #life’ to-do does not feel genuine”.
So my two cents suggestion-wise:
Keep the current system, but add a way to “live a life”, e.g., skip/rest days — not sure what’s the “way” can be, though.
Add another streak system, maybe call it “Lifetime Streaks” (and the existing one will be “Hardcore Streaks”, dunno). This new streak system will account all streaks since an account was created. People will be less annoyed when their streak was broken like @nilsw (can relate) since their streaks were added to the overall counter. Doesn’t solve an issue, though.
