Froakie - #656 is where I made it to in my streak on the Nothing Discord, again thanks to @Daniel for setting up the streak system, enabling everyone to capture a new pokemon for each day they hold their streak, working your way up from Bulbasaur!

I wrote a post at the one-year mark of my streak, 365 Streak. I did this because I had been holding my streak since the streak system was implemented, which meant that I and a few others were the cap on the whole thing 😆 I wrote about where Nothing was and what we were looking forward to in the community.

Now, ~291 days later, I thought I’d do something similar. I had planned to do this at the two-year mark, but a bad day and a severe case of brain fog meant I lost my streak! I’m going to take this as an opportunity to get more involved when I am; I fell into days of just sending “good morning chat” to keep my streak, but not engaging much more than that. @Derren expressed losing the streak as liberating, and I think I feel similar. The Discord and Nothing Community forum feel more like a place for me to share my opinion, rather than engaging for a streak’s sake, so while I may not post every day, I’ll try and be more engaged when I am online, post more in #Food&Drink, write up my thoughts on Nothing.Community more and maybe even try my hand at some photography!

So, Ear and Ear(a) launched, @RohitPakalapati was our newly appointed CBO (who did a stellar job!) and we were all awaiting details of the Community Edition Phone(2a). What we didn’t know was CMF Phone(1), Nothing Phone(2a) Plus, Nothing Apparel Drop 2, Ear(Open) were all yet to come! (I’m sure I’ve missed some things in there). Another thing to callout is NOS3.0! I think the software on all the devices has grown massively and we’re now starting to see exciting features like Essential Space that will hopefully set Nothing apart from the rest of the Android market!

With @adbo now at the CBO helm, Phone(3a) having just launched, Phone(3a) Pro coming this weekend, I’m eager to see what comes of 2025, but also for the rest of the streak holders going strong! @Louis ☕️ @MachoNachoBot and @WarBringer are breaking new ground, @Ealesy101 and others hot on their heels keeping them accountable! I’ll still be in the discord and here, but free of my streak, I’m going to try and contribute better each time 🎆

A lovely snapshot into the last 291 days, and my word, what an amount of events that have happened in such a short space of time!

The streak counter on Discord has been a lovely addition and I agree, it does resort to me sometimes only contributing those three words to keep it alive.
I look forward to more cooking posts on the Food and Drink channel, and I would love to see what challenges you could take on with some 3D Printing and CMF Phone 1 perhaps? 👀

Very nice write up - it’s always fun to reflect on what’s changed over the past year or so and in this community, it’s always big things! Looking forward for what the coming year has to bring 😄 and I also look forward to seeing your community engagements moving forward, thanks for sharing!

Can’t wait to see what else Nothing got to offer in the up coming years as it continues to grow as a phone company.
