Core Systems

Dashboard

The LevelUp dashboard: coding level in a glowing ring at the centre, framed by the rewards log, daily statistics, the Focus Points chart, the activity monitor, goal vault and vault system — with the daily FP goal and the Activity Pulse along the bottom

The dashboard is the overview page of your progress. Most widgets on it only show values you already know from the previous chapters: player level, Vault, Activity Score. One system does appear here for the first time, though, and that is the Daily Goal.

How to open the dashboard

Either via the XP status item in the status bar, or via the VS Code command palette with Open LevelUp Dashboard.

What you recognize

These widgets are pure views onto mechanics already explained. Here is what each one shows:

WidgetShows
Level circleYour player level and the XP progress to the next level
Vault widgetYour current maximum Vault level & capacity (Vault)
Activity WidgetToday's time tracking (Activity Tracker)

Player level and its milestones

Your player level sits in the middle of the dashboard and only ever goes up. It rises with every XP gain you make, so the level circle is the one number that carries your whole history.

Every fifth level up to Level 50 marks a milestone, celebrated with a quote, a few stats, or a reminder of how much time you’ve already invested in your coding journey.

The LevelUp milestone modal in VS Code, confetti raining down either side: "Congratulations! 879 hours in, 290 days past. You reached Level 50", below it 16139 lines of code and 722995 Focus Points earned, a Churchill quote, and the buttons Continue, Share Your Progress and Write a Review

Activity Widget

The Activity Widget on your dashboard shows today's time tracking at a glance, the same values the Activity Tracker already keeps for you.

Rewards & statistics

Last Rewards is a log of today's claims. Every XP gain shows up here individually with the time and the XP amount, plus the average per claim.

Daily Statistics sums up the day: today's total XP (the sum of all claims), a comparison to yesterday at the same time or to your last dashboard visit, when your first activity today was, and how many sessions you have had today. The claim button here triggers the same Vault claim as clicking the Vault in the status bar (Vault).

The Daily Goal, a second and separate target

Alongside the Vault there is a daily FP target, 2,500 FP by default and adjustable. It runs completely in parallel to the Vault and works differently:

  • Every FP you earn flows straight into a separate bonus pot at a conversion rate of 22 FP = 1 XP (clearly worse than the Vault rate of 5 FP = 1 XP; the Daily Goal is a bonus on top, not a replacement for the Vault claim).
  • Once the goal is reached, the claim button for the bonus pot unlocks. Clicking it pays out the collected amount as XP and marks the goal as collected for today.

Streak bonus

The paid-out amount is additionally boosted by your streak, the number of consecutive active days:

StreakBonus
1 day+1%
6 days+6%
7 days+14% (base +7, plus milestone +7)
14 days+25% (base +14, plus both milestones +7 and +4)
19 days+30% (base +19, plus both milestones)
every further day+1% more

So the bonus grows by one percentage point each day and gets a one-time jump on top at day 7 and day 14.
