I Was Tired of Abandoning Learning Goals, So I Built Streakly.

Every time I started learning something new JavaScript, a framework, or even exam prep the pattern was always the same:

  • Day 1: Motivation
  • Day 7: Still going
  • Day 15: Miss one day
  • Day 20: Journey abandoned

Not because learning is hard

but because consistency is.

So I decided to build something to solve that problem.

Introducing Streakly

👉 Visit Streakly

Streakly is a web app designed for learners and students who want to stay consistent with their learning not just plan it.

Instead of treating learning like random todos, Streakly treats it like a journey.

Learning as a Journey (Not a Checklist)

In Streakly, you can create learning journeys like:

  1. JavaScript Mastery
  2. DSA Prep
  3. React Fundamentals

Each journey includes:

  • A start date (today or future)
  • A target duration
  • Clear progress tracking

Topics → Subtopics → Tasks

I recently added a topic & subtopic system, because learning isn’t flat.

Example: JavaScript Mastery

  • Basics
  • Variables
  • Data Types
  • Control Flow
  • Loops
  • Conditions

Each subtopic can have tasks, so you still get actionable steps without losing structure.

This small change made the app feel much closer to how real learning works.

Streaks That Actually Motivate

Streakly tracks:

  • Current streak
  • Longest streak

How it works:

  • Miss a day → you’re warned
  • Complete something → streak continues

There’s also a notification system that nudges you when:

  • Your journey starts tomorrow
  • You haven’t completed anything today
  • Your streak is at risk

The goal isn’t pressure

it’s gentle accountability.

Resources Where You Need Them

For each journey, you can upload or attach:

  • PDFs
  • Docs
  • Images
  • Links

So your learning materials live inside the journey, not scattered across tabs.

Why I Built This

There are amazing tools like Notion, todo apps, and habit trackers

but none of them felt learning-first.

Streakly focuses on one simple thing:

Helping learners show up every day.

Current Status & What’s Next

Already Available

  • Journeys with topics, subtopics & tasks
  • Streak system (current & longest)
  • Notifications
  • Resource uploads

Coming Next

  • Group journeys (study with friends)
  • Better progress analytics
  • Smarter streak logic (grace days, freezes)

🤝 I’d Love Your Feedback

This is version 1, and I’m sharing it early to learn:

  • What feels useful?
  • What feels unnecessary?
  • What would actually help you stay consistent?

If you’re a learner or a dev who’s started (and abandoned) learning journeys before — I’d genuinely love your thoughts.

👉 Feedback is more valuable than likes 🙌

Consistency is hard.

Maybe tools can help a little.

Thanks for reading ❤️
