The reporter finds the app's persistent 'way to go' and 'streak' pop-ups tedious and creates friction, as they must wait for the notifications to disappear before they can continue using the app.

🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. Add a 'Notification Preferences' toggle in settings to disable specific gamification pop-ups.
  2. Implement a 'Power User' mode that suppresses non-essential UI overlays for experienced users.
  3. Redesign the UI to display encouragement as non-blocking banners rather than modal pop-ups.
