Streak & milestones
Consistency is the #1 predictor of Substack growth. StackSweller makes it visible.
Publishing streak
Your streak counts the number of consecutive days you’ve published a note. It resets to zero if you miss a day.
Streak heatmap
The heatmap (inspired by GitHub’s contribution graph) shows your activity over the past year. Each cell is a day; the darker the color, the more notes you published that day.
This gives you an instant visual of your publishing patterns — busy weeks, quiet periods, and streaks.
💡 Tip
Even one short note per day keeps your streak alive. Use AI generation to quickly fill gaps when you’re time-constrained.
Milestones
The milestone widget tracks your next upcoming goal — subscriber count, published note count, or streak length.
When you hit a milestone, StackSweller shows a celebration prompt. Milestones are a useful checkpoint for reflecting on what’s working.
Milestone examples
- 🎯 First 10 published notes
- 🎯 25 subscribers
- 🎯 7-day publishing streak
- 🎯 100 notes published
- 🎯 500 subscribers
Milestones are set automatically based on your current progress. You’ll always have a visible next target.
