# ⚡Streaks!

Thanks to a hint from @Jeff_Hager, I managed to come up with this simple app that will allow a user to have a daily check in button that tracks their streaks (both current and longest).

There’s probably also a way to do this without `add row` by only using `set columns` and math columns—wouldn’t get a log of checkins, but the data would still be accurate.

As expected, this can replace all the complicated formulae and scripts I was using to achieve the same! The compound actions is the most powerful feature update Glide has done.

l was trying to implement this recently, unfortunately l found out that “fetch JSON” Column Type is no longer available on glide app…Meanwhile Call an API type is only meant for business version…

Is there a way we can go about this?

I had this problem too, use a JavaScript column instead 😄
