Hello, thanks for a great app and great resources for studying Japanese.
Today I saw my study streaks were broken, which was surprising. Yesterday I did do my revirws later than usual, but still before my reset at 3 AM. Have I misunderstood something? Can it be restored?
The streaks aren't really important, but it feels bad to have them broken when I believe I did do what I should to maintain them.
On another note:
Consider scrapping streaks and rather just use a counter for "total days studied". A streak may be motivating, but when a streak is broken, there is a chance that the student just stops since "they will never get that far again". A counter for total days studied would just not increase for a day, but still show how much effort you have put into the studies. Of course gamification is less important than actual language skill increases, but if there is to be gamification, I believe a counter for total days is better for long term motivation than a streak counter.
Streaks are relatively hidden by default for exactly the reason you give - many people react negatively to them being broken. So we keep them out of the way (and with easy ways to hide them from view entirely) unless you want them.
We do not have a current quest/goal for total number of days studied, but we have plenty for number of terms, number of correct questions, etc., so we hope that covers the "cumulative" category.
As to your broken streak, there *was* an issue that affected a small number of accounts. If you can tap on my name and DM me with a list of what you believe the values should be, I'll be more than happy to restore them for you.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on that topic.
I don't recall exactly how long the streaks were. I estimate 320 for sentences and 780 for the other three (vocab, kanji and grammar). I kept those three going every day since I started using renshuu, but lost sentences twice because there were no sentences to review and I didn't realize.
I appreciate your effort and care in even minor matters like this.
