      There are even 'cheat codes' — Scripts to get streaks without the work

    I love Trends VC in general but gamification is one of my favorite topics so I was running to this one quickly for sure! 🙏🏾💎🚀

    Love this breakdown of a component we all need in our products, roadmaps, and POV. The entire Trends VC lineup is like a set of reusable legos. Use it to create your Voltron.

    Excellent list! I'm using a leaderboard of streaks (so two game mechanics, really) for my education app Boethius (https://www.boethi.us/ (that I just launched announced here).

    Badges and notifications were two more mechanics that sound like they might be a good fit for my use case. Badges for specific topics mastered (for example, badges for double digit subtraction or planets of the solar system, etc...). Notifications could pop up if another use is about to overtake you on the streak leaderboard, or if you haven't finished you "daily workout" yet.
