Survey marks

A mark for a thing you really did.

A surveyor sets a brass disk where a measurement was really taken. A survey mark here is the same: it marks something you did, once, on a day. Every mark is on this page before anyone earns it. None is drawn at random, none is for sale, and none counts toward a total.

About your days

Today counts the days in a row you made, shipped or learned something: a Workshop build, a picture, sound or film in the Studio, a post, a note on somebody's work, or a lesson. Only you can see it. It is never compared with anyone, and it never sends you a notification or an email.

Every 7 days in a run gives you a freeze, and you can hold 2. If a day passes with nothing made, a freeze covers it on its own. When a run ends, the next day simply begins a new count, and your longest run stays on the card as a fact.
