  I liked it because it was a learning app and I have a tendency to fall off. But paying real money to restore my streak? Hell nah

  people calling every tactic to keep users more engaged a dark pattern these days is giving me teenagers using therapy speak in wrong ways vibes

  I wish the whole streak paradigm was time weighted. Like I got over a 1 year streak on my Apple watch over Covid. That’s basically never going to happen again. I wish there was some kind of “this is your longest streak in the past <time period>” or something. It all just feels so all or nothing.

    I believe you can get a users longest streak from the public API end point. IIRC it’s something like duolingo.com/users/{username} but it’s been a few years

  Yeah but at least the interests of the user and duolingo are somewhat aligned in this case
