love it!

about your unsolved questions:

To keep people coming back, I think an off-site notification channel for (opt-in I guess) nagging notifications would be something I like. Ideas for this would be serviceWorker notifications in modern browsers, email notifications (meh) or maybe automating @thestreakclub to tweet at a few people with a fun reminder (a bit like @indiewhipbot).

For the second part, a unified hashtag might be useful, when I do things I try to tag @thestreakclub but using a handle like a hashtag is a bit clumsy sometimes and people use it less I would imagine. Also I guess if you thought of a smart way to promo streak.club from itch.io via something like the itch jam that could work wonders (though streak.club probably fits artists best, and jammers are likely going to be programmers in majority).

Also - would you be up for a weekly loop streak again some time soon? I've been sporadically doing a few over the last weeks but streaking and non-solo is more fun, plus I desperately need some inspiration :D

Daily art had the #dailyartstreak tag, but do you think all streak club posts should just have same tag? I think #streakclub is fine for that, some people have already used it in the past. A twitter bot could be interesting. The easiest implementation and most reliable is email so I'll probably do that first.

I'd like to do weekly loops again, it's just hard finding time to work on all these side projects :)

It's a problem to decide on one general hashtag w/ volume vs seperate hashtags that are specific, I was thinking just write down #streakclub somewhere prominently so people know it's 'established' and add a tweet button / social media share widget?

and for the loops, if you do find the time go ahead and ping me on twitter ;)
Also maybe someone/I should post to r/gonwild and propose an OC month....

I think doing something for /r/gonwild would be pretty cool, good way to get others involved. Do you want to host it? :)

I'm not sure if you can see a streak draft by link, so I set it to hidden for now:

I thought about starting at New Years, so nobody would be busy with all the Christmas things coming up and it's a nice round start.
Anything to add to the description?
I don't really have any experience scheduling things like this, so let me know if there's any obvious issues or I should move it to a bit later to have some time to get the word out.

Maybe wait for reminder emails to be implemented? I have no idea what your project focus looks like atm and what an ETA on that would be.
