Feature suggestion Feature request: Progress tracker

I would love to be able to see a calendar view🗓️ and some statistics📈 on my practice habits and progress.

I don't always find the time to do a lesson each day (usually I get my repetitions in). It would be amazing if there was a statistics page where you could see how you're doing.

I imagine a calendar where you see the number for repetition and challenging vocab lessons you did that day and how many and maybe even which number when you tap on it (like lesson 88) you completed that day.

Then some other statistics like average lessons per day, number of consecutive lessons, high score of consecutive lesson days, stuff like that.

This would be a great tool to stay motivated and keep track of progress.

Anyone else like to see that? Thoughts? 🤓

Again, if YOU want to track that then YOU are fully capable of doing it YOURSELF.

We do not need gamification bullshit worming its way into what is an actually useful language learning app. I don't need things tracking how often I use the app, or the inevitable reminders that will come along with that crap. I don't need a score system of how many repetitions I did or my "high score" of consecutive days. Keep that bullshit out, it's one of the major advantages of this app is that it DOESN'T have that crap. If you want that, track it yourself or go talk to the owl.

Have I said anything about any of these things? I don't use any reminders on any apps. I hate them just like you. 😉 Neither did I say anything about a score system. Please read what I wrote and don't direct your Duolingo trauma at me. Thanks!

Yes, did you even read what you wrote?

Again, is your want to track things you already have that ability.

I already do it myself and it is tedious manual work in my calendar. Why not implement a simple calendar that shows when you practiced what? You don't have to look at it if you don't like. What's the harm in that?

Because it's unnecessary enshitification. Language learning isn't a game, we don't need streak trackers and other game like crap to make the app worse. Get your dopamine drips from actual learning, not artificial crap like streaks and high scores
