Hi @Silverwolfxp,

Can you please make sure your profile timezone matches your real timezone?

I just want to chime in and say that my streaks are calculated properly but the display on the site is off by one day. My reading for today is showing up for yesterday.

Edit: Here is another image from today if it helps. My pause days are configured to be Saturday and Sunday. In UTC -5

Update:
We found a lead where we on the FE don't match the timezone correctly in some edge-cases.
Hoping to ship a fix soon. 🙏

Hi team, I lost my streak days due to this timezone issue. Is it possible to restore them? I was really motivated tracking my daily learning progress and maintaining the streak. Let me know if you need any additional information from my side to help resolve this.

I am also hitting this bug, traveling this week so I am in a different timezone.

@bobbyiliev have you updated your timezone accordingly?

@bobbyiliev have you updated your timezone accordingly?

Yep, changed it already but it still does not seem to be working

It seems like it calculates the read articles for the previous day instead of the current one

Thanks for letting us know. We're investigating the issue, may take us some time since it's holiday season now 😓
We'll do our best to solve in a timely manner

In case this helps, I am back in Europe and this seems to have started working again as expected even though I had GTM -5 as my Daily.Dev timezone.

Hello everyone, as you all know timezones and time are the one of the hardest things in programming but we worked hard to fix it. So we implemented following mechanisms to ensure your streak displays and counts correctly each day:

• we always show your streak days and reading status in your timezone that is selected in your settings
• since timezone in settings is detected during signup we also added a label to show which timezone you currently have selected (1. picture below)
• to prevent your streak showing wrong while traveling or if your timezone setting does not match your device setting we added a new warning which will show in those cases (2. picture below)
  • when warning shows you have an option to go to settings and update your timezone to match your device or ignore it for that timezone (for example in case of temporary travel)

All in all, we hope this changes will help you keep your streak and reading latest news from development world consistent.

FYI: one note, currently this is only available in the webapp (https://app.daily.dev/) since our new extension version is still pending release on Chrome web store. I will notify here when it is released as well.

This is now available for webapp (https://app.daily.dev/) and extension.

Picture 2. - warning for timezone mismatch, clicking on label gives you option to update/ignore

Let us know if you encounter any issues.
