Update: Streaks are going away on January 4, 2021

I was sad to find out that the new code wouldn't support monitoring streaks. I was looking forward to seeing day 700 this weekend and day 1000 on November 5.

Thank you for the badges. 

You guys had made a very wrong decision. Dissapointed!

Having missed a day in 2019, my personal streak ended 314 days and a new one started. All of this stemmed from a serious medical event in 2018. As part of my goal to come through rehab, I set a target to log on and learn something each day with the help of KA. My count would now be over 700 days had I not missed that one. No matter, thank you KA for the motivation tool of the daily streak widget. I am very sorry to see it go at 390 days.

Honestly, I sometimes found myself just watching half of a video in order to keep my streak up. At least that won't be happening now, I guess

Can you guys make badges for a streak of 5, 10, 15, and 30 days? small rewards create the determination to keep practicing in my opinion.

I’m so disappointed that this feature has been removed! I have a 1100 day streak and have been working on my 2000 day streak goal! :( I hope KA reverses the decision to remove this super-motivating feature!

To be honest, I am also very dissatisfied, and disappointed in how Khan Academy is retiring the streaks... :( Btw, why didn’t I have my badges? I did a lot of Khan academy already on the Khan  Academy app, why didn’t I receive my badges? FYI: I’m using an iPad...

How many users achieved the "Leonid" badge?

Dear Khan Academy:

Although it's melancholic to see such a huge part of the website go, I will forever remember the streak counter for all its merit. It was a silent guardian. Watching all of my progress and pride; my disappointment and anger; my will to keep the flame lit even through the darkest, dampest times; the 91 days during that special summer; my painstaking quest for the hundred-day badge that will now forever remain unfinished... Every time I pay a visit to its graveyard: the empty blue space that now occupies its place, I shall pay my deepest respect for what we've been through, and perhaps gain a better appreciation for what I still have. Farewell, my friend. It was my most grandiose pleasure to have known you for the chaotic, yet remarkable year of 2020.

Signed,

GooseMcDucto

I was sure that my 1,217 would be good enough for the Top 25, but I didn't even come close. Even if I hadn't missed doing Khan Academy when I began in earnest about 2 1/2 or 3 months before my last streak began, I still wouldn't have been close. I was about 600 days short of #25's total. That is about a year and 8 months of days. I wonder how far beyond 25 I was.

I'm sorry this feature has gone away. It motivated me to do work even on days I wasn't really feeling it. I hope a new streak feature is added at some point in the future.

Although I know things move on, it's a shame that our longest streaks weren't recorded for posterity.  I used to look back on my longest (968 day) streak with pride, and was also always reminded of the (happy) events that happened to me on the day that I dropped it!  For a while that grey block stood alone in a sea of orange but I didn't reach anywhere near that number again.

It would have been nice to earn the badges for the longest streak rather than the current streak, just as a record of the achievement but never mind, I still more than appreciate the value that learning on Khan Academy continues to bring!

I find this a bit depressing that streaks are going away, since I had dreams of making it really big. Plus I was a bit late to this announcement, although I was happy I was able to reach a million points because of these badges. At first I thought something was wrong but now I realize streaks were completely removed. The streak really motivated to continue using khan Academy for a while. But, I hope you’ll make the website and app much better :D.

:( :( :( :( D: (｡>﹏<｡)

I really hope you guys can bring back streaks (maybe with new code). 

Streaks is one of my favourite features on Khan Academy. The streaks motivate me to keep learning and practicing every single day. There have been many times when I've missed a day, but I realised an important lesson in life that way: There will always be off days, you have to bounce back.

I enjoy looking at the sea of orange and a couple of white squares scattered throughout. On the note of people demotivated by streaks, they have to accept that nothing is forever. 

I have a question: Like I said before, I had almost 300 days of streak before the feature was removed. Then, I received the 50, 100 and 200 badges. But I didn't lost my streak, I just can't see anymore. I will receive the 500 and 1000 badges?

Hi KA team,

I totally understand the rationale for taking away the streak feature but I will say that I am very disappointed. I am a teacher and long time user. Often I challenge my students  to a 'streak' and now it is not possible. Could you kindly recommend a new way of keeping track of a 'streak' with my students.

Thank you for your assistance,

Frances 

What will happen to the badge:10,000 Year Clock

I am the father of a user, my 9-year-old daughter. I created a class for her when I was 8 years old. And it was great to see her progress and dedication. And Streaks was essential for this monitoring. I was very sad with the withdrawal of this feature and, I realize that many users of KA also. This was a motivating tool, as it has the magic of providing each user with the challenge of crossing their own limits daily, that is, the basic principle of gamification. I hope that KA will reconsider this decision and come back with this tool.

i hope KA brings the streaks back once they are done transferring to GO. I really miss those streaks

I had a streak of about 1360 days but I lost it about 6 months ago. I haven't gotten any of the badges. Are they only for current streak holders or am I able to get them since at one point I had over 1000 days?

I think you can claim your medals.

I think they only give badges to the people who still had a streak when it ended

Wow....its Good.

Guys the reason why they took it down was that they putting a new update on it, trust me it's going to be a lot better than before. But it is sad that people had high streaks and now it's gone but I had a streak of 54 and mine gone now.

What will happen to the streak leaders I mean they spent a very long time and now it is 
gone

Oh well things change!

Hi pogiro28,

when you say badges are you referring to the streak 50, 100, and onward badges, if so I'm looking forward to receiving them. :)

I hate that you removed streaks. This was one way I rewarded my students. Not all my students could get mastery or levels so I also awarded most minutes and streaks. This allowed students who struggle to also earn rewards.

Honestly, I'm kinda glad the streaks are gone. Before they where gone, I couldn't do KA on weekends, so it was kinda demotivating to watch everybody else get a bunch of streak badges and such. I'm older and more mature (at least in my opinion) now, so I don't worry about that stuff anymore, but still; good choice!🦊
