To be completely honest, I think this will only motivate me to game the system. I have occasionally "shipped" on a Sunday because I've answered a support request. It's not really shipping in my mind, but I just wanted to hold on to that number so much.

The number doesn't really represent a healthy work/life balance. I think shipping 365 days a year without taking a break isn't considered healthy. When I started out I checked of todo's daily to keep that number going, but now I just like the todo history page it creates. The streak has a really prominent place on the homepage but does it really represent what wip.chat is all about ( is it about shipping or about having a community that helps each other ship )? How about the number resets at the start of each month? Or is lowered when you miss a day? These are some questions that popped into my mind while contemplating the streak.

I think I'll let go of my streak today. Not because I'm for or against paying to retain it, but because I just realized that it's not the reason why I'm using wip.chat
