Yeah, I’m kinda tempted to petition again for the Duolingo style of streak freezes, because if one is consistent enough, you care about not using the 2 streak freeze grace. And during busy days, you don’t feel as demotivated after losing one or two days off.
I mean, one could argue that 2 days off might be for an important event with family, a loved one or work, which happens once in a while. Not to mention the occasional Bunpro technical update glitches, timezone changes or simply not having an Internet connection over the weekend camping in nature.
Maybe the “payment” to replace the streak freeze could be a larger sum of XP points? Maybe adding a code for a 2 days grace without thinking of a repayment system is fine too? Just throwing off random ideas here.
For me, it’s either the 2 days grace streak freeze or ban streak system, lol. Implementing this could also mean one less task for Bunpro staff to worry about fixing someone’s streak again and they could focus on other more important matters. At the moment, I’m no longer motivated to get the streak badge.
P/S: Of course, not to undermine the efforts of those that have worked hard previously (and in the future) to preserve their longest streak, I think the existing streak badges need to be rightfully awarded anyway.
Perhaps let the current streak badge exist for those who like to go the extra mile and be awarded, but it will be neat to give the average learner the two-day grace for the more common issues that I’ve stumbled upon in the “lost streak” threads.
I even bought some internet to keep my streak alive during the flight but it was already lost when I had the opportunity. In the stats page is however seems like I properly did my reviews each day.
