Explain the problem as you see it
Visual display for longer term tracking I find useful for maintaining motivation and seeing patterns emerge over time. A heatmap display for this would be useful within Tana for things like habit tracking and word count tracking.
Why is this a problem for you?
Incorporating this functionality in Tana would reduce the need for me to track this sort of thing externally in a different app.
Suggest a solution
There seems to be some built in functionality in the little calendar date picker which shows relative number of nodes for each day node that month based on the size of the circle surrounding each day. I wonder if this could be tweaked to display habit tracking? Would be great to have a yearly view as well (concept in link to Slack). I like the idea of a heat map for tracking habits or other information visually.

Great idea! Very useful for habits.

Team have ideas on conditional formatting and have it as area for future exploration, but no active work atm. Calendar date picker is an early experiment, chanages are based on amount of nodes. Very relevant for habits and tracking.
