Usage streak widget
Lifts return visits with a current-streak widget, week dots, and a gentle keep-it-alive nudge.
Expected impact
Streaks convert sporadic use into habit; the canonical gamified retention loop.
Why it works
Duolingo reports learners who reach a 7-day streak are 2.4x more likely to return the next day than those without a streak.
The prototype prompt
This is the spec Growthtyping compiles for you. The {{brand.*}} tokens are replaced with colors, fonts, radii, and voice from your brand - so the render comes out on-brand, not generic.
PATTERN SPEC: A streak widget for {{brand.name}}: current streak count in large {{brand.heading_font}} 700 type, seven day-dots for the week (filled in {{brand.success}}, today outlined in {{brand.primary}}), and one quiet line about what keeps the streak alive. Small card, {{brand.card_radius}} radius, 1px {{brand.border}} border. Motivating but adult - no flames, no emoji.“Duolingo reports learners who reach a 7-day streak are 2.4x more likely to return the next day than those without a streak.”
