Today we are very happy to present you all with our first badge update of the new year! You may have noticed an update in your account thus far, but ICYMI...

We have redesigned our Writing Streak Badges!

These exclusive badges recognize DEV's more prolific writers who post consistently to our platform.

Need more information on making your first post? Have no fear, we have a guide for that!

Find Our Best Practices Series

Here's how it works:

You will be automatically awarded this badge if you post consistently for four, eight, and 16 weeks! The more you share your wonderful words to our platform, the more we will reward you, so keep writing!

Why did we update these badges?
We have received quite a bit of input urging us to add more clarifying language around these badges and wanted the visuals to reflect our updated brand system!
