I wonder what a fix would be? Maybe reset every 30 days and have a separate counter for the number of completed months that doesn’t reset if you fail.

- ninkendo 4y agoI mostly attribute it to the fact that I started out the streak reading LOTR, which was really good and kept me going long enough for the streak to start to look substantial (a couple months IIRC.) Then I didn’t want to lose it so I kept picking up other books.
- lovehashbrowns 4y agoMaybe some added leeway time, more leeway the longer the streak is. Like a 300 day streak should give you maybe a week’s worth of “time off,” so to speak. I’m kind of imagining a sort of SLA type of counter.
- gre 4y agoIf you start on a day, time it until you stop and count it for both days. What's the downside of someone starting at 11:59 and reading 6 minutes to game it? Also, days are like 48 hours long from the first timezone to the last timezone.
- gnicholas 4y agoGood point! If you flew from SF to AU, you’d lose a “day” in much less than 24 hours.
- Zababa 4y agoAnki (a flashcard software) allows you to set when the "next day" is. I put it around 4 am, it works well for me.
- jeremyjh 4y agoThe website chesstempo.com has a daily streak that resets with no forgiveness, but it also has a weekly streak so as long as you use it once a week you can keep that going.
