🔥 1000-day streak – special edition: How to last on Product Hunt long-term?
I have been here for so long that visiting the Product Hunt page is like an automatic reflex after waking up. Just kidding. 😀
Anyway, there are 10 hints on how to keep that streak going:
✍️ Have an incentive to visit this website every day (e.g. post to create discussion forums daily, one comment under someone's launch/post per day).
🔔 Set up reminders/notifications to not skip a day.
✉️ Use an external app that reminds you of streaks (I've been using @Streak Hunter by @denisss for several months – it sends me emails to my inbox).
👩💻 For sure, double-check your streak via app + web app.
📱 Place a widget on your screen so it shows the day count that should update daily.
💻 Set producthunt.com as the first page when opening the browser.
🛜 Try to avoid travelling to places where there is no wi-fi or even signal (I used to travel to such places within my country a few years back, deep into the forest) – but that was a different episode of my life 😀
👀 Visit the website multiple times per day (e.g. 3 times).
⚠️ A very risky/critical situation — if you trust someone enough to give them access here to double for you, then fine, but that should be a last resort (e.g. when you end up in the hospital or so – but hopefully not 🤞).
🤝 Partner with a friend for streak accountability; you both check in daily.
Thank you for being a part of this great community! ❤️

First, congratulations!
Second! As I said, the biggest legend on Product Hunt. Or at least the legend of the Gen Z generation in this decade.
We’re soon expecting you to celebrate 10,000 followers!

@byalexai Hahaha, thank you, Alex! To be honest, I didn't expect that it could go to these numbers. I am so happy to meet great folks here. And you are among them! :)
@busmark_w_nika Likewise! So happy to meet you and other great people here!

PH is a nice place, I'd also be here every day maybe if I had time...
But don't let the PH streak dictate your life ;)

@konrad_sx That's a sure thing. I made a habit :D
@busmark_w_nika Congrats! Haha, love this list 😄 feels like the “survival guide” for keeping a PH streak alive. I especially liked the deep-forest-with-no-wifi example, that’s true dedication.
Curious though: do you find the streak itself keeps you motivated, or is it more about the connections and conversations that come from showing up every day?
And special thanks to @Streak Hunter by @denisss for keeping the streak alive 🙌

@denisss @lina_huchok I think that the leaderboard is partially a commitment for me, but I want to be there because of the latest advancements in technology. I feel like being the first who know about the new tech stuff when I am here.
@busmark_w_nika Totally with you on that 🙌 I’m still a novice here, but already feel the inspiration from the community. Lots of great solutions and potential partnerships popping up, definitely a place worth sticking around for a while.

@lina_huchok I guarantee that when you are there for a longer period, you can spot many interesting people and even find your future co-founders ;)
Congrats! Day 947 here! Love to see it.

1000 days, congratulations! I'm going in that direction too

@ixord Do you have any plans not to skip the day? :)

@busmark_w_nika I'll have 700 in a couple of days, I'll try to keep up the same pace. Nika, maybe I'll catch up with you soon xd

@ixord You are supposed to keep that fire burning! :D

Congrats @busmark_w_nika! I’m on a 29-day streak and that already feels like a big achievement, I can’t imagine hitting 1000+!
Btw, are there any advantages for users with such long streaks?

@borja_diazroig Keep it up! I’ve noticed you showing up here more often, and it looks like you’re building a strong presence :) The main benefit is getting early alerts on tech advancements. Plus, the higher you climb on the streak leaderboard, the more likely people are to want to collaborate with you.

@busmark_w_nika Thank you! I’m still miles away from getting to your level :)

@borja_diazroig I believe in you! :)

@hamza_afzal_butt Appreciate, Hamza. I am pretty sure you will hit 1k soon! :D
@busmark_w_nika hahahahaha. Lets see :P
@busmark_w_nika Awesome! Congrats to you! I treat PH as a habit stack: coffee → Product Hunt → 1 useful comment → 1 upvote.
Two add-ons that help me:
“3-minute rule” (even on busy days, do one tiny action).
Notes doc with draft comment prompts, so there’s never a blank box.
Question: what’s your next streak milestone?

@valeriy_yasakov That's a neat rule. Some people commented just to have proof they were here.
my next goal si probably 2,000 days :D
@busmark_w_nika I wish you good luck! My first goal is 1,000 days! And actually, 21 days to build a new habit works. After that time, I'm on the PH as part of my daily routine, like drinking coffee in the morning.

@valeriy_yasakov Hopefully, you will make it sustainable. :)
@busmark_w_nika I have inspiring example )
Thanks for the great tips, I'm still new here too, but I've already made the product hunt page my browser's home page. Although it's more important for me to be active and take part in discussions that interest me :)
