You are awesome

Hey, despite I must go buy groceries I am now writing this due to my lovely cat Yuni who sleeps on my lap. I have seen some posts lately with lost the streak, frustrating moments and a light in the darkness. And one awesome post from a Numo dev who inspired me to write this. Let me say it straight away: You are awesome and one of a kind. All your kindness, quirks and joy that you bring to the world is, what most counts. You make the day of many people by no more effort than showing up, talking and recognising. My biggest thing is with what you are dealing with. Keep in mind that your awesomeness can’t be boiled down to a number, chart or streak. Heck, even a bad day, week, month or even years won’t describe you as a whole. I am a Data Analyst, a fancy word describing someone who is good with numbers, computers and programming. I say this, because I’ve seen people breaking on social media, or even missing a day and ending therefore a streak. It’s the little things that one pushes over the edge. And thus I am writing this words: Don’t slave you to a device that only exists because people invented it and all these things that come with it. It is crucial to remember that you know you are important no matter what. Now, I am thinking about how to make Numo better and I think the streaks a great but should not be the focus. Gamification and improvements to the UI are some things. Do you have wishes on how to detoxify (streaks can be toxic, but note that the developers and team are awesome!) the app? I am not in the Numo team, I am just a guy inspired by all this and I have at the moment a hyperfocus moment. Hyperfocus to make the world a better place. 😊

A way to earn “freezes”? (I’m new to NUMO, so that feature may already exist on here!)
