Background: I currently get a notification (from the app) in the middle of my night that my prediction streak will expire in 3 hours. By the time I'm awake again, it's way too late and the streak expired. That sucks. (Ṁ75 into the void, precisely… or more if I'm bummed about this and skip a few days.)
Resolution:
YES may resolve early. (I assume they're not adding and then removing such a relatively simple feature again.)
By "honor local time" I mean the behavior of streaks / notifications was improved such that your location in the world confers way less of an advantage w.r.t. prediction streaks than it does now. The most obvious way to achieve that is to use e.g. local midnight as the cut-off point (like e.g. Duolingo does), another way would be to send the notification some time in the evening (e.g. somewhere around 7-10 pm local time) or make the time configurable, but there might also be other options that I can't think of right now. (Those might not strictly "honor local time", but still fix the main problem of ≈useless notifications.)
If prediction streaks as a feature are removed entirely, this N/As.
NB: "NO" resolution might take a while if I currently have a streak going (I'm not going to intentionally let it lapse), unless "word of god" confirms that things haven't improved and makes experimental verification unnecessary. (So far, my streaks were ≤ 2 weeks, and I don't expect improvement until/unless the app starts poking me in time.)
