Iβm convinced that #streaks are an antipattern for healthy habits, and they are actually quite bad for you.
Streaks encourage perfectionism, and undervalues the progressive nature of growth. The goal of any good habit is not to do it every single day, but to do *more* of it over time.
Streaks punish you for missing a day by throwing out all your accumulated progress so farβback to zero you go!βeven if you have a perfectly wise reason to miss a dayβs session. The loss of all your βprogressβ can be devastating, and people may do damage to themselves solely to keep a streak going.
Stop using streaks in your apps. Use a different metric that encourages *growth*, not *perfection*. Try a trailing tally with a target band instead (you did the activity 25 days out of the past 30! Good job!), or let your users view their progress on a calendar without any metric at all, and let them judge for themselves how well they did.
I've been using #Streaks for ages and while it is still a great app I have become frustrated with the whole concept of it and other #HabitTracking apps. The moment I miss a goal, that whole progress is lost. What would be more motivating to me is some kind of success-rate indicator that lets me catch up again instead of starting from the bottom.
So my question is, do these apps exist? If not, I hope some indie dev who is looking for ideas for a new project might pick up on it.
The iOS app #streaks has a new #swiftui #AppleWatch beta in #TestFlight https://testflight.apple.com/join/xYB3TvdT

My #firstpost on #Mastodon:
π π I am an Earth/climate scientist at the University of Arizona in #Tucson (southwestern US) focusing on the areas of #climate change, #paleoclimates, and #paleoceanography, with an emphasis on #ENSO, #monsoons, & #variability.
βοΈπ Our group uses #inorganic #geochemistry incl. measurements of #stableisotopes & #tracemetals in #carbonate rocks & #fossils (e.g., #foraminifera, #mollusks, & #speleothems) alongside climate #observations as well as #simulations to advance understanding of how the Earth's #climate & #oceans have changed in the past and can change in the future.
Some of my hobbies include:
π΅ #music: I am a fan of #metal and heavy music of all sorts, but tend to migrate towards #black, #death, #doom, #drone, #sludge, & #thrash. I also have a soft spot for #carnatic/#hindustani #ragas, #darkambient, oldschool-ish #hiphop, #triphop, and various forms of #electronicmusic.
π¦ #birds & #birding #photography bring me joy. Right now, I feel v lucky to be briefly back in my hometown of #Bengaluru, southern India, after three long years being able to see #oldworld birds I grew up with.
π¨πΎβπ» #GTD, #mindfulness, #organization, and (vs?) #producivity are things that I enjoy thinking about. Of late, I've been using #Things3, #Streaks, #Hobonichi w a #Lamy Safari, #Obsidian, #Overleaf, & #Bookends to get things done.
ππ½ Thanks for reading!

Le seul "manque", c'est l'absence d'une fonction "compteur" que vous trouverez sur des applications iOS comme #Streaks.
