Thanks for your feedback! Indeed the algorithm only gives one result, as it tries to fill all gaps from smallest to biggest in the best way possible to create clusters.
Making it super customisable would be tough, as then it becomes just a personal calendar. Maybe showing the rankings transparently (3 options tied, choose which one wins) could be nice.
Hi Zachd, I like this, but I'd like to be able to do it for custom date ranges, and add custom constraints.
for example, my company has mandatory shutdown days, I have x additional days leave, and z study days leave that I expected to not use more than 1 study day in the same week and I need to use some of my leave by 30 jun as australia businesses manage the financial year as july to june, not jan to december.
Even a simple weighting might work… “do you prefer your time off to be near major public holidays?” Or “which season do you prefer to travel?” Then with the 4 day weeks accordingly. The results it gave me skipped over a lot of other federal holidays and seemed to focus all time off at years end, when I definitely do not want to travel. Which really it just needs to look for weeks with a single day off to buddy up with.
I think a simple feature that would actually effectively enable what they wanted would be to let the user manually add days which should be included in the PTO
Like maybe make the days clickable and give us a popover button for : it'd like this day to be free - and just tread this day as a holiday from there (while deducting the day from the quota)
