Currently, DevPath has no way to track a user's learning progress or motivate consistent engagement. Users have no visibility into how much they've learned, and there's no incentive system to keep them coming back daily.
Proposed Solution
Implement a full Gamification & Progress Tracking system with the following components:
🏆 XP & Badges
Award XP points on completing courses, attending events, contributing to open source, and helping in community
Unlock badges for milestones (e.g., "First Course Completed", "7-Day Streak", "Open Source Contributor")
🔥 Learning Streaks
Track daily activity streaks
Visual streak calendar similar to GitHub's contribution graph
Streak freeze/protection for missed days (grace period)
📊 Leaderboard
Global leaderboard ranked by XP
Friends-only leaderboard option
Weekly/Monthly/All-time filters
🎖️ Achievement System
Tiered achievements (Bronze → Silver → Gold → Platinum)
Shareable achievement cards for LinkedIn/Twitter
Why This Matters
Increases daily active users and retention
Encourages consistent learning habits
Builds healthy competition within the community
Makes learning feel rewarding and fun
Suggested Tech Stack
Database: Firebase Firestore (store XP, badges, streak data per user)
Frontend: React components for streak calendar, leaderboard table, badge display
Logic: Cloud Functions for XP calculation on events
If you like this feature I would like to work on it under GSSoC'26
