A streak is a run of UTC days you showed up. Days reset at midnight UTC. Miss a day and the current streak returns to zero; your personal best stays.
How you keep a day
Either of these, once per UTC day, credits the check-in:
- Leave at least one founder note (a product comment or a feed comment).
- Cast at least three votes (after visiting those sites).
Milestones
- 7 and 21 days — Restore ×1 — recover one missed UTC day. Restore is only ×1 or ×2.
- 14 / 30 / 90 / 150 days — Super vote — live-streak vote weight on the Launchpad: ×2, then ×3 with the verified check, then ×4, then ×5. Miss a day and the multiplier drops with the live streak.
- 30 days — Verified — a check on your public profile. Earned by showing up. Not identity verification and not a paid badge.
- 45+ days — priority launch, feed and sidebar weeks, a founder article, and the Monday newsletter block. All YStartUps inventory. No third-party subscription discounts.
- 75 days — Restore ×2 — recover up to two inactive days at once.
- 210 days — Touch-grass week — seven protected days. Take a break; the streak holds.
The public circle and /streaks show the count, share cards, and — after a launch week locks — thank-you templates with voter and commenter icons.
