Since our writing history is tracked, it might be cool to earn simple badges for milestones like writing 14 days straight, 30 days straight, etc. Badges for daily word count milestones would be cool too, nothing super detailed, just a simple jpeg in 9x16 we can share on our social platforms or in our writers groups.
On the topic of streaks, automated emails to encourage us to write like “Don’t break your 12 day streak!” could be helpful.
I like this idea! I doubt the social graphics would be possible with their bandwidth but the badges might be achievable. I’d say it could run through the iOS app but that would be just another thing our android friends would miss out on.
Omg this would be phenomenal. I made one of these in Excel, but then I stopped tracking my daily word counts like I used to, so I don’t use Excel for that anymore. But as an ADHD full-time writer, anything to gamify my day–challenges against myself work best–would keep me working harder. Love!! Please
Kind of wondering about the program writing for this and where it might be added to the code? Maybe in the “Alternative Tracking Tools” part of the code?
Frankly, from a safety point of view, adding an extra code for this might open a new can of ‘safety worms’. It’s getting these days that less extras is safer.
You know, like them poorly paid DPRK government hackers that steal billions of crypto money for their …
BUT AI is helping the ‘not-so-professional’ hackers do better hacking. And the situation is really getting nasty for those that are doing the police work on the Net. You know, the AHNPF = Anti Hacking Net Police Force. It is not just a “department” anymore. It’s its own “force”. I got called out of retirement due to that.
So adding extra code to a program means extra safety work. And it’s going to get worse.
