Training sessions and habits render on the identical week grid, with the identical marker X. The product doesn't visually distinguish 'important' streaks from 'personal' ones, because that distinction is exactly what would make a habit legible to anyone glancing at the screen.
PaceStreak stores weight and tape measurements the same way it stores anything else you choose to log: privately, for your own use, and completely disconnected from the streak, the XP or anything that ranks you against another person.
The whole-life leaderboard ranks one thing: weeks with anything logged, training or habit. It never sees what you logged, because ranking content instead of attendance is how a habit tracker turns into a place people perform for.
The API's hosting decision is made: a free-tier GCP VM, Neon and Upstash, zero-downtime rolling updates on a single-node Swarm - and why the VM pulls its own updates instead of GitHub Actions pushing them.
A daily streak has no concept of a planned day off: every rest day looks identical to a missed one. Counting weeks against a target you set yourself is what lets rest be a decision instead of a risk.
A freeze protects a bad week from ending a streak you've kept for months. It has to come from consistency, not a purchase, or it stops meaning anything about the person holding it.
Every badge in PaceStreak rewards showing up against your own target, never a spotless week. A streak that only survives perfection teaches you to stop the moment it isn't perfect anymore.
Turnstile went on signup, login, forgot-password, resend-verification and recover for one reason: those five endpoints can empty a free email quota or grind past a rate limit, and a CAPTCHA on the feed or the streak grid would only annoy people who never touch them.
recompute() reads a stats row, decides what's new, then writes a fresh one back - with no lock between the read and the write. Two concurrent calls could disagree about what changed, or insert the same badge twice.
A small bar row and a keep-rate percentage on every habit's detail page - kept in lime, missed in flame, because the week strip and calendar markers already meant that, and a new chart is the wrong place to invent a third colour convention.
Habits already had a category and a colour. The one thing Today's week board didn't do with that was use it to group the rows - and it still doesn't, for the common case of one category, on purpose.
The home screen used to be a stack of coach cards. It now opens on a tear-off date and this week as a board you can cross off, because the first question anyone has is 'what's left today?'
Picked once at onboarding, read from localStorage ever since - and gone the moment someone switched phones or cleared their browser. It was account state that had been living like a device preference.
PaceStreak is a habit and streak tracker for training and everything else worth doing regularly.
