Hey there everyone! I recently stumbled upon an inspiring TEDx talk by Luis Von Ahn, the founder of the popular language-learning app, Duolingo. Did you know that he comes from a humble background in Guatemala and was raised by a single mother? Despite all odds, he excelled academically and even obtained a PhD in Computer Science! He talked about how Duolingo keeps users engaged in learning through their app, despite mobile distractions. So, how do they do it? Well, they use a GAME BASED MODEL that tracks your progress and encourages you to keep up your streak. It's like a fun little game that helps you learn a new language. And, the NOTIFICATION they send out are pretty top-notch too. They have a bit of a passive-aggressive tone, but hey, it works! I highly recommend checking out the talk if you're interested in language learning or just want some motivation to keep going with your projects.

Any solution that can be gamified will take over the traditional solution. Plus point, if you can unlock streak behaviour, you have increased retention rate too. For eg : Learning a new language is quite un-interesting and hard. But Duolingo cracke
