Something is strange in the math for "Let's stretch your time off from X days to Y days"
I am in the US, and it says I have 11 days off. If I say I get 0 days off, it says: "Let's stretch your time off from 0 days to 18 days". It looks like it's counting the weekends prior to a holiday no matter what as a "bonus" day, which is a strange methodology to me. (I would expect that it would only count days that it performed some action to optimize, otherwise it's just table stakes)
The tool is great, I would definitely use it couple of times a year to see the "pattern" :) The design is great!
Adding to the comment on "calculations". Perhaps the wording could be improved, now it feels a bit like a dark pattern in sales.
This is not the best version, but explains what I mean:
"Let's turn your X days of time off into Y days of holidays."
Thanks, the count could indeed be improved. I left it as counting all clusters > 2 days as valid extra time off, so all 3 day weekends made from national holidays would be included. But of course it's over optimistic :)
I would almost rather know how many 'blocks'I got off. Like, tell me how many 1 week chunks I get, how many 2 week chunks I get, etc.
