Show up, your way
Some days you want to write. Other days you want a warm-up. Both should keep your streak alive.
The daily exercise used to gate the rest of the platform. Not anymore. Sign in and you can write a section, leave a what-if, react, or browse plots without warming up first.
Stories count too
Finish your daily exercise or write a section for a story, and your streak ticks up. Either way you've shown up. The cheat day still works the same: one missed day per week is forgiven.
A choice, when you've got a streak
If you've got a streak going, opening the exercise now asks what you're in the mood for: write a story or come up with plots. Pick one and you're off. Both keep the streak alive.

Greatly implemented! I hope that people will be much more active now.
