Show HN: I built a tool that forced me to code for 135 days in a row

1 pointsby mondovabout 2 months ago
The other day I was making a &quot;nice&quot; readme for my GitHub and I found a web that let me embed a widget with some stats, but it didn&#x27;t work well because 50% of the time it didn&#x27;t show anything due to the rate limit on their token. It was using their own personal token for all users.<p>So I built my own alternative for this, first I made it just in a form of API only I could use and after some time I decided to make it so anyone can Sign In with their GitHub account, then copy the widget URL and paste it anywhere.

Hey! I made this tool and ever since I added the &quot;current streak&quot; widget to my GitHub profile, I couldn&#x27;t stop coding every day because I wanted to see how long streak I can achieve and after like 15 days, it became a habit for me to code something meaningful every day. It definitely pushed me to finish some projects and start a new ones.
