no emergency cards, think of it like an escrow you agree to 100%

yeah but what if i fail the goal because i can't workout because of extraordinary circumstances: do i really lose all of my points? im all for holding myself accountable but sometimes shit happens and in the case of illness the healthy decision is often to not work out for once ā doesnt seem right for the incentives to discourage that

if thereās an opt out button for goals without losing points, then itās the same experience as any other app, which you can already do :)

goals are completely an opt-in experience, no pressure to set a goal if you don't want to, but if you do set a goal on receipts you have to put up some points we're also releasing streaks soon (which are different) and will introduce streak freezes just like duolingo
