πŸ”₯ 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. πŸ˜€

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).

  • πŸ”” Set up reminders/notifications to not skip a day.

  • βœ‰οΈ 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).

  • πŸ‘©β€πŸ’» For sure, double-check your streak via app + web app.

  • πŸ“± Place a widget on your screen so it shows the day count that should update daily.

  • πŸ’» Set producthunt.com as the first page when opening the browser.

  • πŸ›œ 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 πŸ˜€

  • πŸ‘€ Visit the website multiple times per day (e.g. 3 times).

  • ⚠️ A very risky/critical situation β€” 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! ❀️

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 ;)

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!

@busmark_w_nika Congrats! Haha, love this list πŸ˜„ feels like the β€œsurvival 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 πŸ™Œ

Great list!

I love how you combined simple habits (like setting PH as your homepage) with accountability tricks (like reminders or a streak buddy). It’s a good reminder that consistency isn’t just willpower. it’s about designing your environment to make showing up easy.
