Is a 100-day streak worth it?

Question

So it's my 100th day streak today.

What did I get out of it? idk.

But consistently showing up for these few days,

- i met some awesome people
- came across some useful products
- learnt so much
- shared so much

and will continue doing so, just because I'm enjoying it.

Thank you for being a part of my life and making it better :)

Congratulation! It is a journey and it is about meeting people. Thanks to PH, I got into the communities, had calls with great folks, and changed know-how. Be persistent, you will meet more good guys. :)

100-day streak by itself won't mean much. However, the things you gain by being here for 100 days straight definitely mean a lot, as you have yourself pointed out.

Wondering the same thing. What does a streak really do for you?

To me it kinda feels gimmicky

Not sure, im only on a 23day streak right now working my way up to the top like you guys haha.

I guess being active consistently and building a good reputation can become beneficial on a website like product hunt.

I’d say it’s not entirely useless since it helped you become a better version of yourself in some way. This is just a small metric to measure that. Congratulations on being consistent with your values and priorities!!

@vertikanigam Hi, if you are launching something here, then a 30- to 60-day streak sounds about right (a summer streak probably doesn't count for much, though). OTOH if you are not launching yourself but you are curious about who launches what, then sky is the limit, why not go for a forever-streak. If you want to socialize off-work, then 𝕏 or the Fediverse (Mastodon etc) are probably better choices. For me LinkedIn is purely for business, but to each his own. Or her.

I think the consensus here is that about two months is enough to gain traction if what you’re selling is of value. A never-ending streak sounds like a 9 to 5 job.

@vertikanigam Keep going for it!
And yes, we're launching soon, thanks!
