The Opportunity

Problem

Indie trivia game developers targeting university students experience sharp retention drops after the first week due to players' unpredictable schedules and forgetting to log in.

Solution

StreakForge provides embeddable streak trackers and reward systems that gamify daily logins, integrated via JS snippet. It uses behavioral nudges like friend streaks and micro-rewards to combat forgetfulness. Devs embed it to see sustained engagement beyond week 1.
