How streaks work in Quota

By the Quota team · Updated

Short answer: You keep a streak of active days you posted proof before midnight. The group keeps a separate streak of days everyone posted. Each streak has one pass a calendar month: the first missed day is covered, a second miss that month resets it. Days outside your active days don't count either way.

Your streak

Your streak counts the active days in a row you posted proof before midnight. Post on an active day and it grows by one.

The group streak

The group keeps its own count: the run of days when everyone in the group posted. A group day counts only when everyone posts, so a missed day is never private. That shared number is what makes Quota work; around the second week, nobody wants to be the one who breaks it.

The monthly pass

Everyone gets one pass a calendar month. The first day you miss in a month is covered and your streak carries on. A second miss that month resets it. The group streak has its own monthly pass that works the same way.

Active days

Each quota has active days, like every day or weekdays only. Days outside them leave your streak alone: no post needed, and nothing lost.

The deadline

Posts are due before midnight where you are. Your deadline moves with your phone's time zone, so travelling is fair. An evening reminder comes if you haven't posted.

Forfeits

If your group has set a forfeit, you owe it for any missed day the pass didn't cover, until someone marks it paid. It's never money, and only the last 14 days are ever owed.

Milestones

Long streaks get marked along the way.

Flags

If someone posts something that clearly doesn't show the goal, it can be flagged and the group votes. See how flags work.
